IBM (NYSE:IBM) today announced additional information regarding its 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. As previously announced, the Annual Meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 28, 2020, at 10:00 a.m. EDT.
Due to the public health impact of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and in the interest of complying with various public emergency orders and recommendations limiting travel and the conduct of business activity, we will no longer hold our 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders in-person in Louisville, Kentucky. Instead, IBM will hold its Annual Meeting solely in a virtual meeting format and regrets that stockholders will not be able to attend the meeting in person.
Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote and submit your proxy in advance by one of the methods described in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting. In addition, each year IBM provides a portal through which stockholders may submit questions in advance of the Annual Meeting. To submit a question, please visit: https://www.ibm.com/investor/services/question-form.html.
