Lincoln National Corporation to Hold 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 28, 2026

Key Terms

beneficial owner financial

A beneficial owner is the person who ultimately owns or controls a financial asset or property, even if their name isn't directly on official documents. Think of it like someone who secretly holds the keys to a safe deposit box—others may appear to have access, but the true owner is the one who benefits from what's inside. Identifying beneficial owners helps ensure transparency and prevent illegal activities like money laundering or fraud.

record date financial

The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.

proxy materials financial

Proxy materials are the packet of documents sent to shareholders that explain items to be voted on at a company meeting and include the actual ballot or instructions for casting a vote. Think of them as a voting packet that lays out who’s running the company, major proposals (like pay, mergers, or board changes), and arguments for and against each item. Investors care because those votes shape corporate direction, affect risk and future profits, and can influence share value.

RADNOR, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Lincoln Financial (NYSE:LNC) announced today that Lincoln National Corporation will hold its 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on Thursday, May 28, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, in a virtual meeting format via live audio webcast.

As described in the company’s proxy materials for the Annual Meeting, only shareholders as of the close of business on March 23, 2026, the meeting record date, are entitled to attend and participate in the Annual Meeting.

If you are a shareholder as of the record date for the Annual Meeting and you wish to attend the Annual Meeting, please log on to our annual meeting website at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LNC2026. The virtual meeting platform is supported across various browsers and devices. Participants should ensure that they have a strong internet connection wherever they intend to participate in the Annual Meeting. We encourage you to access the Annual Meeting prior to the start time to allow ample time for online check-in. The website will be open for check-in beginning at 8:45 a.m., Eastern Time on the date of the Annual Meeting.

To attend and participate in the Annual Meeting online, you will need your “control number.” The control number is a 16-digit number that you can find in the Notice of Internet Availability (if you received proxy materials via electronic delivery), proxy card (if you are a shareholder of record who received proxy materials by mail), or voting instruction form (if you are a beneficial owner who received proxy materials by mail). Beneficial owners who do not have a control number should follow the instructions provided on the voting instruction card or otherwise provided by your bank, broker, or other nominee.

Shareholders are encouraged to ask questions. Shareholders who wish to submit a question to be addressed during the Annual Meeting may do so by submitting the question in advance at www.proxyvote.com, by entering your control number and clicking on “Submit Questions.” Questions may be submitted through May 27, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time.
