AT&T Inc. has issued its 2026 proxy statement for a virtual annual meeting on May 14, 2026. Holders of 6,982,145,528 common shares as of March 16, 2026 may vote.
Stockholders will elect ten directors, ratify Ernst & Young as 2026 auditors, give an advisory vote on executive pay, vote on adding officer exculpation to the certificate of incorporation, and consider a new 2026 Incentive Plan authorizing up to 130 million shares plus a refreshed Stock Purchase and Deferral Plan increasing its share pool to 136 million. Two stockholder proposals seek broader written-consent rights and mandatory public EEO‑1 workforce disclosure; the board recommends against both, citing existing special-meeting rights, governance framework, and current human-capital disclosures.
The proxy emphasizes board refreshment and diversity, majority voting for directors with resignation policies, extensive stockholder engagement, and a pay-for-performance program where 2025 CEO target compensation was 91% at risk and about 69% of active NEO target pay was tied to stock price performance.
