New this year:
Nasdaq will make a $1 charitable donation to RespectAbility on behalf of each shareholder (that’s YOU) that votes for matters pertaining to our upcoming 2022 Annual Shareholder Meeting. RespectAbility is a diverse, disability-led nonprofit whose mission is to fight stigmas and advance opportunities so people with disabilities can fully participate in all aspects of community. Become an informed shareholder and exercise your right to vote today!
When seeking information about the financial health of a public company, you likely know the Form 10-K or 10-Q is a great place to start. But did you know the proxy statement provides further information about the company’s strategic direction, important business relationships, executive and board compensation practices, and even the qualifications and skill set of each director on the Board?
Required by the SEC, a proxy statement is designed primarily to share important information about matters to be brought forth and voted upon at the next annual shareholder meeting (matters that YOU—as a shareholder—have a right to vote on). Beyond required disclosures, however, our proxy statement provides shareholders with an opportunity to learn more about Nasdaq’s company’s culture, financial and governance highlights, human capital management, and other ESG practices.
If you want to be a curious—and diligent—investor, read the proxy statement.

This year, for every shareholder (if you held any Nasdaq stock as of April 25, that’s you) that votes, Nasdaq will be making a $1 charitable donation to RespectAbility. Not only will your vote be used to determine important business decisions, but it will also contribute to a great cause.
