An annual stockholder meeting is a yearly gathering where a company's owners (shareholders) receive updates on performance, vote on key issues like board members, executive pay and major corporate plans, and ask questions of management. Think of it as a company town hall where choices about oversight and direction are decided; outcomes can affect management accountability, corporate strategy and ultimately the value and risks of investors’ shares.
