Apple's annual general meeting will be held virtually on February 23, 2021, according to the company's SEC filing.
Annual general meetings are usually held in person at Apple Park. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced the company to use a virtual solution. However, this allows a larger number of shareholders to participate, as there are no spatial restrictions. So the whole thing has its advantages. SEC filing shows:
We are pleased to welcome our shareholders to the 2021 Annual General Meeting. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Annual General Meeting will only be held in a virtual format to provide a safe experience for our shareholders and employees.
Those who wish to attend the Annual General Meeting, vote and ask questions can website for shareholders and enter a 16-digit code contained in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials that will be provided to shareholders.
Annual General Meeting: Not of Interest to the Public
Apple explains that online access will be activated or opened approximately 15 minutes before the start of the meeting. According to Apple, those who wish to attend the meeting should submit their vote in advance online, by mail or by phone. Agenda items include the re-election of the Board of Directors, the confirmation of Ernst & Young LLP as Apple's auditing firm and voting on shareholder proposals. Annual general meetings are usually of no interest to the public, as Apple executives do not usually reveal details about products. But there have been isolated exceptions in the past. If there is something this time that might be of interest to you, we will of course report on it. (Photo by Gesrey178 / Bigstockphoto)
