The meeting the document announces
Apple filed this definitive proxy statement on January 8, 2026. Its Notice of
Annual Meeting of Shareholders gives the date and time as "February 24, 2026
8:00 A.M. Pacific Time" and holds the meeting online at
www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/AAPL2026. The record date, which fixes who
may vote, is January 2, 2026. The filing index carries February 24, 2026 as the
period of report.
What shareholders were asked to decide
The notice lists five items of business:
| Item | Title in the notice |
|---|---|
| 1 | Election of Directors |
| 2 | Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
| 3 | Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation |
| 4 | Approval of the Apple Inc. Non-Employee Director Stock Plan, as Amended and Restated |
| 5 | Shareholder Proposal |
The notice names the eight director nominees: Wanda Austin, Tim Cook, Alex Gorsky, Andrea Jung, Art Levinson, Monica Lozano, Ron Sugar, and Sue Wagner. It also allows for "other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting."
How this connects to the annual report
Apple's Form 10-K for the year ended September 27, 2025 answers Items 10 through 14 of Part III by pointing to this document. Each of those five Items uses the same sentence. The required information "will be included in the Company's definitive proxy statement to be filed with the SEC within 120 days after September 27, 2025," and it "is incorporated herein by reference."
What was checked
The filing index and the proxy document were retrieved from EDGAR and read on

Shareholders. The quoted Part III sentence was read in the pinned local copy of
the Form 10-K at sources/artifacts/sec/session-05/aapl-20250927.htm.
