The Annual Meeting will be held on Monday, May 11, 2020 at 3 p.m. EDT in a virtual meeting format only, via live audio webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/NWL2020 due to the emerging public health impact of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) and to support the health and well-being of the company’s stockholders, employees and their families. The Company will hold the virtual-only Annual Meeting at a different date and time than previously announced in its proxy materials filed on March 26, 2020.
Stockholders as of the close of business on March 16, 2020, the record date, are entitled to participate in and vote at the Annual Meeting.
