Summary
Dominion Energy, Inc. (D) filed an 8-K on March 24, 2020, detailing amendments to its Bylaws and the format of its upcoming 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Board of Directors approved changes to the Bylaws, expressly allowing shareholder meetings to be held solely through remote communication, at the Board's discretion. This amendment provides flexibility for the company to conduct meetings without physical gatherings. In line with this new bylaw provision and likely in response to prevailing circumstances at the time, Dominion Energy announced that its 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be held virtually. This means shareholders will be able to participate and vote remotely, rather than attending in person. Investors should note this shift in meeting format and consult any further communications from the company for specific details on how to access and participate in the virtual meeting.
