Summary
Monster Beverage Corporation (MNST) filed an 8-K/A amendment on December 3, 2015, to correct a typographical error in a prior filing. The primary purpose of this amendment is to formally announce the date of the company's 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which is set for June 14, 2016. Due to this meeting date falling more than 30 days before the anniversary of the previous year's meeting, Monster Beverage is providing updated deadlines for stockholders wishing to present proposals for inclusion in the proxy statement or for consideration at the meeting itself. For proposals intended for inclusion in the proxy statement, the deadline to submit them is January 15, 2016. For proposals or nominations not intended for inclusion in the proxy statement but to be presented at the meeting, the deadline falls between February 15, 2016, and March 16, 2016. These deadlines are crucial for investors looking to engage with the company through shareholder proposals.
