  Re: Robert Half International Inc.

Stock Incentive Plan

 

Dear Mr. Torressen:

 

This letter will confirm that, at a regular scheduled meeting of either the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee of Robert Half International Inc. to be held within the next twelve months, there will be a discussion of Section IV.B.3 of Fidelity Funds’ Proxy Voting Guidelines dated March 2011, such Section being as follows:

 

“FMR will generally vote against equity award plans or amendments to authorize additional shares under such plans if:

 

***

 

3. In the case of stock awards, the restriction period is less than three years for nonperformance-based awards, and less than one year for performance-based awards.

 

FMR will consider approving an equity award plan or an amendment to authorize additional shares under such plan if, without complying with Guideline 3 immediately above, the following two conditions are met:

 

a. The shares are granted by a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors; and

 

b. The shares are limited to 5% (Large-Capitalization Company) and 10% (Small or Micro-Capitalization Company) of the shares authorized for grant under the plan.”

 

Sincerely,

/s/ M. Keith Waddell
