Alphabet stockholder proposals on voting rights, governance issues defeated

Alphabet Inc. stockholders voted against seven shareholder proposals at the annual meeting on June 6, including two related to voting rights.

One of those would have eliminated the company's dual-class voting structure in favor of granting one vote per share to all stockholders and another had called for a simple majority of votes on measures requiring shareholder approval. Two similar proposals recently failed to pass a vote by Facebook Inc. shareholders.

Other rejected Alphabet shareholder proposals called for the company to issue reports on lobbying, compensation, board diversity and sustainability. Another called for a report to review the efficacy of enforcement of Google's terms of service related to content shared on its platforms.
