Dear Stockholder:
We have previously sent to you proxy material for the Annual Meeting of the stockholders of Stewart
Information Services Corporation to be held on April 30, 2010. Your Board of Directors has
unanimously recommended that stockholders return the enclosed proxy card voting FOR all of the
Items on the agenda.
As you may know, due to recent changes to the NYSE rules, your broker is no longer entitled to vote
your shares in the election of Directors without your instructions.
Since approval of the issuance of common stock upon the conversion of 6.00% Convertible Senior
Notes requires the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast, and the approval of an amendment
to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to authorize the issuance of shares of
preferred stock requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares outstanding, your vote is
important, no matter how many or how few shares you may own. Whether or not you have already done
so, please vote TODAY by telephone, via the Internet, or by signing, dating and returning the
enclosed proxy card in the envelope provided.
Sincerely,
J. Allen Berryman
Secretary
REMEMBER:
You can vote your shares by telephone, or via the Internet.
Please follow the easy instructions on the enclosed card.
If you have any questions, or need assistance in voting
your shares, please call our proxy solicitor,
INNISFREE M&A INCORPORATED
TOLL-FREE, at 1-888-750-5834.
