On March 13, 2024, Bowyer Research filed an exempt solicitation statement soliciting proxies and urged the shareholders of Starbucks Corporation to vote against a shareholder proposal, requesting the Board of Directors issue a report examining any costs to Starbucks? reputation and any impact on its projected sales incurred as a result of its ongoing upcharge on plant-based milk. The board should summarize and present its findings to shareholders by the end of the third quarter of the current fiscal year.

The report should be completed at a reasonable cost and omit proprietary information at the Company?s 2024 annual shareholders meeting.
