Lobbying Disclosure Proposal Before Charter Shareholders

The Service Employees International Union's Pension Plans Master Trust put a shareholder proposal on lobbying disclosures on the agenda for Charter Communications' annual shareholders meeting April 25. Per the company's 2023 proxy statement, put out Thursday, Charter shareholders will vote on requiring the company to prepare an annual report about its lobbying policies and procedures and money spent on direct and indirect lobbying and on grassroots lobbying communications. Charter's board, advocating a "no" vote on the proposal, said its current disclosures "are appropriate and consistent with the objectives of transparency and accountability reflected in the proposal."
