Shareholders ask our Board of Directors to take the steps necessary to amend the appropriate company governing documents to give the owners of a combined 10% of our outstanding common stock the power to call a special shareholder meeting or the owners of the lowest percentage of shareholders, as governed by state law, the power to call a special shareholder meeting. Such a special shareholder meeting can be an online shareholder meeting. There shall be no discriminatory rule to mandate ownership of Analog Devices shares for a specific period of time in order for shares to participate in calling for a special shareholder meeting. It is important to enable shareholders who recently purchased Company stock to call for a special shareholder meeting because those shareholders can be the shareholders who are most informed about the prospects of the Company since they recently did research on the Company that triggered their decision to purchase Company stock. To guard against the Analog Devices Board of Directors becoming complacent shareholders need the ability to call a special shareholder meeting to help the Board adopt new strategies when the need arises. This proposal topic received between 51% and 72% support each in 2024 at Jabil, Warner Brothers Discovery, ANSYS, Vertex Pharmaceuticals and DexCom. There is no concern that allowing 10% of shares to call for a special shareholder meeting, as called for in this proposal, is too easy. It is almost unheard of for any special shareholder meeting, called for by shareholders, to ever occur at any company even though a significant number of companies allow 10% of shareholders to call for a special shareholder meeting. The reason to have this right is that with this right in place companies are more likely to engage productively with their shareholders because shareholders have an alternative ability to call for a special shareholder meeting. A shareholder right to call for a special shareholder meeting, as called for in this proposal, can help make shareholder engagement meaningful. A shareholder right to call for an online special shareholder meeting will help ensure that the Analog Devices Board and management engage with shareholders in good faith because shareholders will have a viable Plan B by calling for an online special shareholder meeting. With the widespread use of online shareholder meetings it is much easier for a company to conduct a special shareholder meeting online for important issues and the Analog Devices bylaws thus need to be updated accordingly.
