Apple's Annual Shareholders Meeting to Take Place Virtually on February 23

Apple's annual shareholders meeting is set to take place on February 23, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time, Apple said today in an SEC filing. Shareholders meetings are normally held in person at Apple Park, but this year's meeting will take place virtually and will be open to a greater number of shareholders because there are no space restrictions.

Those who want to attend, vote, and submit questions during the annual meeting can visit the shareholders website and enter a 16-digit code included in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials provided to shareholders. Apple says that online access will open approximately 15 minutes before the start of the meeting, but questions can be submitted in advance through February 22 at 8:59 p.m. Pacific Time.

Apple says that even those who are attending the meeting should vote in advance online, by mail, or by phone. Items of business will include re-electing the Board of Directors, ratifying Ernst & Young LLP as Apple's public accounting firm, and voting on shareholder proposals.

Shareholder meetings are not typically interesting to the general public because Apple executives don't often share details about Apple products, but in the past, there have been limited comments on Apple services and software.

Maybe, maybe not...I'm sure he will get beat up a bit from the shareholders.....they always do....we want higher dividends on our stock investment.

Shareholder meetings suck though, if it's not in person. Normally they'll hide the good stuff from the average investor, and lean more on the hedge fund managers. Yes, I know - it's all about leaks. At least the hedge funds can be sued for good value if that info ever made it to the press.

I've always worked the television part of then shareholders meeting for the 2 major corporations....and they are boring af! It is all straight business. Take a vote for keeping one or two members of the board, announce new members of the board. count the vote in yea or nay made by shareholders to changes the corporation wants to make. Then when they are done live in person, take questions from shareholders that attend.....listen to them complain that the dividends they received are not as good as they wanted/expected, etc. then it's over...go home.
