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, beginning in 2023, the Company's report annually to shareholders on the nature and extent to which corporate operations depend on, and are vulnerable to, Communist China, which is a serial human rights violator, a geopolitical threat, and an adversary to the United States. The report should exclude confidential business information but provide shareholders with a sense of the Company's reliance on activities conducted within, and under control of, the Communist Chinese government, submitted by National Legal and Policy Center at the Company's annual shareholders meeting scheduled to be held on March 10, 2023.
