Apple today has submitted to the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) a correct Form 10-Q that it originally filed on Thursday April 23. The original filing incorrectly reported the voting percentages for shareholder-submitted proposals because abstentions were counted as “No” votes. Very shortly after the original filing, the company learned that these votes had been incorrectly tallied and an internal investigation confirmed the mistake was due to human error, which Apple regrets. Today’s amendment correctly reports the voting results.

As a result of the corrected vote count, Shareholder Proposal No. 5 Regarding Advisory Vote on Compensation, known as “Say on Pay,” was approved with a majority of votes cast.

Proposed at this years annual shareholder meeting by the AFSCME Employees Pension Plan, a public health union which holds over 21,000 Apple shares, the resolution will give all company shareholders an advisory vote on executive pay packages.
