2024 Annual General Meeting Emails
One of the duties of a Transfer Agent beyond maintaining the issuer ledger is to assist with shareholder communications, including the distribution of proxy materials and the collection of shareholder votes.
​
On 4/30/24, GameStop released their Proxy Materials for the 2024 Annual General Meeting (AGM), and on 5/1/24, Computershare sent out the annual email containing information about the AGM to GameStop's shareholders who are listed on the issuer ledger. This email contains a link to the proxy voting materials, a link and control number for the AGM, and a link to a secure online voting service online. The AGM was scheduled for 6/13/24, about six weeks following the email.
​
Several users in our Discord community shared the email sent for the 2024 proxy and the emails sent for other companies for their 2024 proxies, and other users compared the 2024 GameStop email to the emails from GameStop in previous years. Some users also expressed concern that the formatting used would make emails going to the spam folder more likely. Update: On 5/8/24, a second email went out with an updated subject line.

Differences in GameStop's Email
GameStop AGM Subject Line from Prior Years
In 2023, GameStop's AGM Email matched the formatting for other issuers. In 2022, it was the same formatting as 2024. We do not have data from 2021 - please reach out if you do.
GameStop AGM Email Body from Prior Years
Below are images of the 2022, 2023 and 2024 email bodies along with links out to the proxy materials for those years. If you are reading and held GME through Computershare in April of 2021 or in any prior year, please reach out so that we can add that image to this page as well.
The word "GameStop" did not appear in the body or subject
Compare the email sent 5/1/24 (right) with emails from three other issuers (below). Each of them included the name of the company in the body of the email, which would help it appear in searches and automatically flag as important. The GameStop logo at the top is a picture, not plaintext.
