Tesla proxy sets Dec. 3 annual meeting with Musk, Denholm and Straubel up for re-election
Tesla will hold its 2026 annual shareholder meeting on Dec. 3, according to a definitive proxy statement filed Oct. 19.
The meeting is set for 3:00 p.m. Central Time. Shareholders can attend online, and a limited number can attend in person at Gigafactory Texas. Shareholders of record at the close of business on Oct. 13 can vote.
What shareholders will vote on
The proxy lists three proposals:
- Re-election of Class I directors Elon Musk, Robyn Denholm and JB Straubel
- A non-binding advisory vote approving 2025 executive compensation
- Ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as auditor for fiscal 2026
The board recommends a vote for each proposal. Internet voting before the meeting runs until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Dec. 2.
Retail voting program
The proxy describes a new Voluntary Retail Voting Program. After voting through platforms such as ProxyVote.com and Say by Robinhood, retail shareholders can enroll and give Tesla a standing instruction to vote their shares at future meetings.
Tesla said it obtained a no-action letter from SEC staff for the program's framework. The company pointed to its 2025 proposal to eliminate supermajority voting requirements, which failed despite 73.6% shareholder participation.
The proxy also says Tesla had no cash bonus program for any of its named executive officers.
Tesla filed several additional proxy materials the same day, including a letter to shareholders.
