SOC Investment Group, Oxfam America, and three other groups sent a letter to Amazon shareholders April 20 urging them at the May 20 annual meeting to vote against the re-election of Jonathan Rubinstein, Jamie Gorelick, and Andrew Ng, members of Amazon’s nominations and corporate governance committee and Patricia Stonesifer, a former member of the committee, for their decision this year to exclude new shareholder proposals filed at the company.

Shareholders filed approximately 20% fewer proposals for the 2026 season, and companies filed more than 100 fewer exclusion notices than in 2025, finds a new analysis by the Shareholder Rights Group.

After finally winning a protracted court battle in December, Tesla on April 24 filed an S-8 granting Tesla CEO Elon Musk 304 million shares worth approximately $114 billion.
