Meeting Location
The Annual Meeting for holders as of 3/5/08
is to be held on 4/30/08 at 2:00 p.m. CT
at:  
3680 Victoria Street North

Note to Shareholder:
In past years at this time, our shareholders received a large package containing printed copies of Deluxe Corporation’s Annual Shareholder Meeting Notice, Proxy Statement, Annual Report and a Proxy voting card. As a result of a change in the SEC’s proxy rules, we now have the option to instead provide you with this notice, informing you of the date and location of our 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and how you can view these materials on the Internet and cast your votes for the meeting. We believe that this cost-effective solution benefits Deluxe Corporation and its shareholders, as we have significantly reduced printing and mailing costs versus last year’s annual mailing.
