The meeting rarely covers product announcements but will centre around six proposals related to the management of the company.
This includes the election of a new board member to replace Disney CEO Bob Iger, who resigned last September before the respective companies launched streaming services. Apple shareholders will be choosing between James Bell, Tim Cook, Al Gore, Andrea Jung, Art Levinson, Ron Sugar and Sue Wagner.
Several of the proposals have been introduced by shareholders, including one concerning Apple’s policies on freedom of expression, including the company’s activities in China.
