P&G may hold 'virtual' annual meeting

The Enquirer • April 22, 2010

Procter & Gamble's annual shareholder's meeting is an event usually attended by thousands of shareholders at a big downtown site. Someday, it might be held only in cyberspace.

P&G's board approved a change to the company's regulations this week that would permit the company to hold a "virtual" shareholders meeting "held solely by means of communications equipment."

A P&G spokeswoman said the company has no plans to do that, but the board wanted to bring company regulations up to date.

The board also approved some changes to the advance notice required for shareholders to have resolutions and other business addressed at the annual meeting.

This Forum program is open, free of charge, to anyone concerned with investor interests in the development of standards for conducting shareholder meetings with electronic participation. As stated in the posted Conditions of Participation, the Forum's purpose is to provide decision-makers with access to information and a free exchange of views on the issues presented in the program's Forum Summary. Each participant is expected to make independent use of information obtained through the Forum, subject to the privacy rights of other participants.  It is a Forum rule that participants will not be identified or quoted without their explicit permission.

The organization of this Forum program was encouraged by Walden Asset Management, and is proceeding with the invited leadership support of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. and Intel Corporation to address issues relevant to broad public interests in marketplace practices, rather than investor decisions relating to only a single company. The Forum may therefore invite program support of several companies that can provide both expertise and examples of leadership relating to the issues being addressed.

Inquiries about this Forum program and requests to be included in its distribution list may be addressed to e-mtg@shareholderforum.com.
