On January 12, 2023, Apple Inc. filed a definitive proxy statement soliciting proxies and urged the shareholders to vote against a shareholder proposal, requesting that the Board of Directors commission an audit analyzing the Company?s impacts on civil rights and non-discrimination, and the impacts of those issues on the Company?s business. The audit may, in the Board?s discretion, be conducted by an independent and unbiased third party with input from civil rights organizations, public-interest litigation groups, employees and other stakeholders ? of a wide spectrum of viewpoints and perspectives.

A report on the audit, prepared at reasonable cost and omitting confidential or proprietary information, should be publicly disclosed on the Company?s website, submitted by National Center for Public Policy Research at the Company?s annual shareholders meeting scheduled to be held on March 10, 2023.
