Go deeper with GlobalData
The meeting comes a month after one of the company’s 737 Max 8 aircrafts crashed shortly after take-off, killing all passengers on board the Ethiopian Airlines flight.
Company CEO and chairman Dennis Muilenburg is expected to face pressure from shareholders today after advisors called for his removal as chairman following the Ethiopian Airlines crash, which followed a similar crash involving a Lion Air flight last year. Advisors believe that the under-pressure company needs a chairman that is independent of the C-suite if it is to survive the crisis.
The meeting is being held at the Field Museum in Chicago, Illinois, starting at 9am local time (3pm London time).

By GlobalDataDespite struggling to gain momentum last year, the company has seen its share price climb by 22% already in 2019. Alphabet will be hopeful of building on that, but continued pressure from regulators in the United States and Europe could present a stumbling block.
Google was hit with a €50m fine by French regulators for breaching the European Union’s strict General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) laws in January, which was followed by a third anti-trust fine in two years in March.
Despite those setbacks, analysts expect Alphabet to report revenue of $37.3bn, which would equate to a year-over-year increase of 20%. Earnings per share are expected to come in at around $10.56.
Google will announce its Q1 earnings via a conference call scheduled for 1:30pm PT (9:30pm London time).
