The board of directors of Avery Dennison is set to change the format of the company’s annual meeting of stockholders, scheduled for April 23, 2020, from in-person to virtual-only, in response to continued public health concerns about in-person gatherings given the COVID-19 outbreak. The company specialises in the manufacture of functional materials.

The meeting will be webcast and can be accessed by stockholders at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/AVY2020 using the 16-digit control number on their notice of internet availability or proxy card. The company has designed the format of the annual meeting to ensure that stockholders are afforded the same rights and opportunities to participate as they would at an in-person meeting, using online tools to ensure stockholder access and participation, according to Avery Dennison.

As described in the proxy materials for the annual meeting, stockholders are entitled to attend and vote at the annual meeting only if they held shares as of the close of business on February 24, 2020, the record date designated by the board for the meeting. Stockholders can continue to vote their shares till on April 22, 2020 at www.proxyvote.com and will be able to access the virtual meeting from the voting website using the 16-digit control number on their updated notice or proxy card that will be mailed or made available on or about March 19, 2020.
