TO THE STOCKHOLDERS:
The Board of Directors of Sun Microsystems, Inc. (the "Company") has called
a Special Meeting of Stockholders (the "Special Meeting") as described in the
enclosed Notice of Special Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement. At the
Special Meeting, the Stockholders will be asked to approve an amendment to the
Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares
of Common Stock, which the Company is authorized to issue, from 940,000,000 to
1,800,000,000 shares.
Because this is a Special Meeting and there is only one item of business
for the Stockholders to act on, the Company will not have any presentations from
officers or product demonstrations during the Special Meeting as it typically
does for its Annual Meeting. Although you are entitled to attend the Special
Meeting and to vote in person, we encourage you to complete, sign and date the
enclosed Proxy as promptly as possible and return it in the enclosed envelope.
Michael H. Morris
Vice President, General Counsel and
Secretary
