On January 12, 2023, Apple Inc. filed a definitive proxy statement soliciting proxies and urged the shareholders to vote against a shareholder proposal, urging the Board to adopt a policy that, should holders of a majority of non-insider shares voted support a shareholder proposal (calculated by dividing (i) ‘For' votes by (ii) the sum of votes cast ‘For' and ‘Against', minus the shares held by current executive officers and Board members as reported in the proxy statement), a Board member or members, identified by the Nominating Committee Chair, will be made available for a discussion with the proposal's proponents within three months of the Company filing its report on Form 8-K containing the voting results, submitted by Nia Impact Capital at the Company's annual shareholders meeting scheduled to be held on March 10, 2023.
