Frequently Asked Questions

The primary purpose of this 8-K filing is to formally announce the date of Monster Beverage Corporation's 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and to inform shareholders of the associated deadlines for submitting proposals and nominations.

For proposals to be included in the proxy statement, they must be received by January 15, 2016. For proposals or nominations to be presented directly at the meeting (not in the proxy statement), they must be received between February 15, 2016, and March 16, 2016.

These deadlines are critical for any investor who wishes to present a proposal for consideration by shareholders at the annual meeting, or to nominate individuals for the board of directors. Missing these deadlines means the proposal or nomination will not be considered at the 2016 meeting.

No, this specific 8-K filing is procedural. It solely concerns the scheduling of the annual meeting and the timelines for shareholder proposals, and does not contain financial results or updates on business operations.
