From the Alphabet Inc. 2025 Proxy Statement:
Dear Stockholders,
We are pleased to invite you to participate in our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (Annual Meeting) to be held on Friday, June 6, 2025, at 9:00 A.M. Pacific Time. We have adopted a virtual format for our Annual Meeting to provide a consistent experience to all stockholders regardless of location.
Alphabet stockholders of Class A or Class B common stock (or their proxy holders) as of the close of business on the record date, April 8, 2025 (Record Date), can participate in and vote at our Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/GOOGL25 and entering the 16-digit control number included in their Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (Notice), voting instruction form, or proxy card. All others may view a live webcast of our Annual Meeting through our Investor Relations YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/c/AlphabetIR on Friday, June 6, 2025, at 9:00 a.m., Pacific Time.
Further details regarding participation in our Annual Meeting and the business to be conducted are described in the Notice you received in the mail and in this proxy statement. We have also made available a copy of our 2024 Annual Report to Stockholders (Annual Report) with this proxy statement. We encourage you to read our Annual Report. It includes our audited financial statements and provides information about our business.
We have elected to provide access to our proxy materials online under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s “notice and access” rules. We are constantly focused on improving the ways people connect with information and believe that providing our proxy materials online increases the ability of our stockholders to connect with the information they need, while reducing the environmental impact of our Annual Meeting.
Your vote is important. Whether or not you plan to participate in our Annual Meeting, we hope you will vote as soon as possible. You may vote online, as well as by telephone, or, if you requested to receive printed proxy materials, by mailing a proxy or voting instruction form. Please review the instructions on each of your voting options described in this proxy statement and in the Notice you received in the mail. For more information, please see the Questions and Answers section of this proxy statement or visit the Annual Meeting of Stockholders section under the heading “Governance” on our Investor Relations website at https://abc.xyz/investor/annual-meeting/.
