Our Step-by-Step Plan to File a Shareholder Resolution at AMD

This is our collective pledge: we will follow these actionable steps to ensure our shareholder proposal is included in AMD’s 2026 proxy statement under SEC Rule 14a-8. These are the commitments and deadlines we hold ourselves to in order to maximize our impact.

1. Confirm Our Eligibility

  • We must own AMD shares:
    • At least $2,000 in market value (or 1% of shares) continuously for at least 3 years, OR
    • At least $15,000 for 2 years, OR
    • At least $25,000 for 1 year
  • Ownership must be continuous through the 2026 annual meeting.
  • We will obtain a broker or bank letter certifying both our ownership amount and uninterrupted holding period.

2. Mark Our Calendar

  • Submission Deadline: Our proposal must be received by AMD no later than November 28, 2025 to be included in the 2026 proxy statement.
  • The 2026 annual meeting is likely to be held in mid-May (2025 meeting was May 14).

3. Draft Our Proposal

  • Length: 500 words maximum (including the “resolved” clause and supporting statement).
  • Format:
    • Title and resolved clause: Clearly state what we want AMD to do.
    • Supporting statement: Concisely explain why this change is needed, using facts, peer company examples, and data.
