AbbVie Inc. (ABBV) shareholder John Chevedden issued a voluntary alert urging shareholders to vote for both Simple Majority Vote Proposals, 5 and 6, to improve corporate governance and shareholder rights. Proposal 5, a binding measure requiring 80% approval of all outstanding shares, risks failure due to historically low shareholder voting turnout. Proposal 6, an advisory measure on the same topic, requires only a simple majority of votes cast and serves as a backup should Proposal 5 fail. Chevedden highlights the importance of these proposals in enhancing shareholder rights, noting AbbVie's low score in this area and the potential for a significant increase in market capitalization with improved rights. He advocates for AbbVie's Board to invest in encouraging shareholder voting to avoid the recurring expense of having the proposal on the ballot for the next decade.
