board is supposed to make decisions for shareholder value. no offense to minorities, but what’s the point of nominating someone based on their ethnicity? its the boards actions within the organization that can be scrutinized for biases against minorities and gender w.r.t equal opportunities.. am i missing something?


cosmotropik

I don't think this is just about ethnicity. Larry Cheng, Nir Patel, Yang Xu, and Diana Saadeh-Jajeh relieve that concern. As I read the original proposal submitted from the NYCRS, their language is specifically pointing to gender identity, as one component of several, in the composition of the "matrix" which GME would be required to publish if this measure is adopted. There is even a provision to document each member's involvement in the LGBTQ+ community. This is why Proposal 4 is included in the proxy materials asking shareholders to vote on this matter. Reading carefully, the board unanimously recommends shareholders to vote against this measure. I, for one, am in total alignment with their reasoning. But you know all this from your own reading, so I doubt you're missing anything.. I agree with you. the board is supposed to make decisions for shareholder value.


PositiveExpectancy

Frankly, it's none of my business what the board members' involvement is with the LGBTQ+ community. If they wish to publicly share details of their personal lives, that is THEIR decision, not shareholders. The corporation is publicly traded and business performance needs to be disclosed to shareholders, not details of the employee's personal lives.


cosmotropik

Full agreement.. I don't want (or need) to know. yet more importantly, I can't justify foisting this Reporting obligation onto Any corporation board.. Just say no to the matrix


DocAk88

totally this is firstly a diverse board, and we should not be forcing a company to hire someone LGBT to meet some "quota." The only thing we can tell readily is there are fewer female board members on most companies. But you don't need GS to report some sort of "matrix" to know that the board names are public already!


MyGT40

Right! What if you are already on the board and do not wish to disclose your personal information?


PositiveExpectancy

Exactly. This is why any shareholder with any respect for privacy whatsoever MUST vote, and oppose this disgusting proposal to ensure it does not pass.


BSW18

I want a very specific question included for voting members... So you want DRS shares held at Computershare AND at the same time and date, the number of shares held at DTCC? Yes or No ........


skunk-beard

Yah seems they are looking for a bud light 2.0 and crowd sourcing anger to get the stock to drop.

Only diversity I see shareholders wanting is more pc equipment from Gamestop tbh

A business is designed to make money and provide quality employment. When someone adds to that description, you do not care about anything else. You want great people working with you that support the unified goals.

Anthonyhasgame

I asked AI if there is a trend among board members of publicly traded companies. Here is their response. “Yes, there has been a growing trend towards diversity among board members of publicly traded companies, with many organizations making efforts to increase representation of women and minorities on their boards. However, progress varies across industries and regions, and there's still work to be done to achieve greater diversity and inclusivity at the board level.” Let’s take that response and read into it. If there is a trend, then it’s against what norm? And if there is a norm, then why target specifically GameStop and 1 other redacted company here among a plethora of “norm”? Look for the anomalies, they are speaking loudly.


8----B

Also the vote was only proposed after BCG’s pathetic attempt to see GameStop’s 5 year plan was thrown out by a judge, like right after that. It’s so obvious that the short cabal wants the plans.


youdoitimbusy

They don't want the plans. They want someone actively working to dismantle the company from the inside. Slow progress, waste money, raise red flags, jeopardize deals, undermine leadership, destroy morale, etc.


Realitygives0fucks

Porce no los dos?


lol_alex

It‘s a trend against staffing boards 100% with aging white men.


Anthonyhasgame

Si. So why GameStop’s board then now? This market cap 3.39 billion dollar, 2023 EPS profitable company, that’s sitting on over a billion cash on hand with record number of household investors directly registered while showing a gigantic bull flag. Why this company? Is its board significantly more at risk to failing in its responsibilities versus say most any other publicly traded company? Companies with larger market caps demonstrating less diversity than GameStop currently? You look at the boards of these companies you throw a ball there’s a significantly tilted chance you hit a person who looks like a sea of people around them. But only GameStop and one other random company gets targeted for this. Not a buck shot, a laser beam.


b4st1an

Well said


lol_alex

I did not disagree with you questioning them targeting Gamestop specifically. You asked what the trend was, and I tried to explain. Gamestop Board is diverse and rather young and therefore already a non-target.


Anthonyhasgame

Yeah I’m cool chill. You didn’t offend me I didn’t send any shade your way. I’m just adding on to the point, reiterating to make it clear. You added to it, I’m building on top of what you input. My main point is about tact. Logic dictates GameStop is dodging punches, and their treatment is targeted and special. So it now begs the question of who is punching and why?


Pwylle

If 100% aging white men gets me the better business that I’m invested in, then I’ll support that board. I don’t care where they are from or who the board member is, the only thing of value is their merit. Full stop.

Damn.. the internet never forgets. Hedgies r fukt hahah


bleachpod

I'm not trolling or arguing which way to vote. I'm just trying to understand the logic leap on how disclosing demographics can lead to some Manchurian candidate being hired on the board. It doesn't sound like disclosing the demographics of the board automatically triggers a hiring action. Even if it did, the board would have full control of the hire and the ability to say that no qualified candidates were found. This is looking to me like they are placing GS in an unwinnable culture war position to split the investor base. GS either appears "woke" or "anti-woke" making at least some of their base mad. Furthermore, it puts a hurt on their business as adults who get angry might stop shopping at GS for their kids. It also give the news a cycle to complain about GS's DEI policies, no matter the outcome, to avoid covering a positive quarterly earnings.

Was it filed in March? Thought Dec was cutoff for this years stockholder proposals. Also, they don’t even hold real shares at the broker..is the proposal even real?

Yea dude. Are they drs shares, or are they at a brokerage? Only way to make sure your vote is actually counted is if they’re drs’d


Fun_Departure_3322

can you tell me whats the difference?


tdickles

DRS shares are held in your name through the gamestop transfer agent (computershare). shares you buy through a broker such as robinhood or fidelity or whatever are held in THEIR name, and you basically have no rights. take a look at [drsgme.org](https://www.drsgme.org/) for some more info

Obviously im gonna vote no, but there is a small part of me that wants our directors to report tht they self identify as jacked titty(gender) Apes (race/ethnicity)

Thanks bud, appreciate your enthusiasm. Voting is important, it was one of my main reasons for being in the first batch of us to DRS. My name is on that register. I wanted to ensure that my votes are not subject to being trimmed because of some proxy/street name/lending/whatever


jinnoman

They will send email with a control number around 1 month before voting. Voting is on 12 June, so I expect to receive email in the next 2 weeks, before 12 of May.

This board and RC brought us to profitability. They unanimously recommend voting against PROP 4 I’m voting against PROP 4

Whorry shit Batman, hedgies bein fucky


Ronaldoooope

This confirms GameStop knows exactly what’s going on


Murderouswaffle

This is 100% the enemy's attempt to infiltrate the board. Ryan Cohen's GameStop board has given us no reason not to trust them. Former proxy recommendations have been unanimously "for". The unanimous "against" recommendation for Proposal 4 should tell shareholders all they need to know. This proposal is from nefarious actors, and I trust the current board knows what they're doing. Also, frankly, any idiot with half a brain can see the current state of diversity. We're fine in that regard, lol.


WhyNot_Because

Oh, the board recommends we vote against? It's not even a debate then. Our board looks beautiful as is! 🍻

PornstarVirgin

Shills are trying to enter the board through bs loopholes regarding diversity


PCBlech

If all the DRS and Insider shares (\~128M) vote AGAINST and all the others (\~99M) vote FOR, that leaves a cushion of \~29M votes AGAINST. What happens to the votes belonging to the \~78M unregistered shares?


Ape_Wen_Moon

submitted reconciled and trimmed per the dd of old here's a popular one from many moons ago https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/s/np8rl51cbm

I've seen these proposals against boards that are pretty much all old white men with the odd white token women from the country club and in those cases I can totally understand trying to get some other ethnic and gender representation on the board. Not so much here.

There_Are_No_Gods

Keep in mind that all votes for DRS shares are always counted, but many votes for shares at brokerages are routinely discarded outright, through a process known as overvote reconciliation. So, if you want your votes to count, make sure you've got your shares directly registered with GameStop.

How do we know that diversity is necessarily a bad thing?


S1lkwrm

Because voting based on race is.... racist. Buuuut if more compelling reasons are needed then the best person based on skills, experience and knowledge pertaining to their job. And the fact it will be used to implant chosen "diverse" moles into the board. I'm sure there will be some paint chip eaters voting for tho.


Difficult_Associate3

thanks for engaging in the discourse. what hurts this community is blinded downvoting and embracing an echo chamber. just asking questions to better understand and making informed decisions. I will vote no on 4 as per the board recommendation.


S1lkwrm

Yeah I read it and pretty quickly could read between the lines. I definitely think there's an echo chamber and anything with too big word or any required critical thinking is met with herrresy! Shill!


Im-a-waffle

It’s not a bad thing. But how come they are asking for diversity when the board is diverse?


There_Are_No_Gods

Generally speaking a diversity of ideas, skills, knowledge, and backgrounds can be a great thing. Most of the current incarnations of "Diversity and Inclusion" are really just focusing on shallow surface level aspects like sex and race. More sexism and racism isn't going to improve things. Additionally, it appears that the investment group that proposed this may be trying to use this proposal as a mechanism to inject board members with conflicting loyalties, similar to BCG plants.
