Even though many shareholders and investors felt downright lied to throughout the ongoing Steve Jobs health issues, the company’s shareholders have re-elected the same board of directors and voted down proposals they felt unnecessary.
Acting on relatively firm confidence and guidance from the board itself, Apple’s board of directors was re-elected including CEO Steve Jobs, Former Vice President Al Gore, and Google CEO Eric Shmidt.
As we outlined earlier today, shareholders were voting on the following proposals:
• the election to the Board of the eight nominees named in this Proxy Statement (Proposal No. 1);
• a shareholder proposal regarding a political contributions and expenditures report, if properly presented
at the Annual Meeting (Proposal No. 2);
• a shareholder proposal regarding the adoption of principles for health care reform, if properly presented
at the Annual Meeting (Proposal No. 3);
• a shareholder proposal regarding a sustainability report, if properly presented at the Annual Meeting
(Proposal No. 4); and
• a shareholder proposal regarding an advisory vote on compensation, if properly presented at the Annual
Meeting (Proposal No. 5).
True to Apple form, there will be no transcript of this event, and Apple is not allowing live reporting. However, we have made the official proxy statement available for download. Any and all information pertaining to the proposals and board guidance, as well as shareholder and investor relations can be found in the proxy documents.
Update: Fortune is providing as much of a sneak peak into the shareholders meeting as possible. While we know people in attendance, they did not attempt to make it inside the meeting with wireless machines.
