American Express to Audio Webcast Its Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 5

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--American Express (NYSE: AXP) announced today that it is transitioning the format of its previously-scheduled annual shareholder meeting to a live audio webcast, which will be held on Tuesday, May 5, 2020 at 9 a.m. (ET). Given public health concerns and guidance from government and medical authorities relating to the COVID-19 situation, the company will no longer host the event with in-person attendees.

To participate in the meeting virtually and access the webcast, shareholders entitled to vote as of the March 9, 2020 record date can visit www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/AXP2020 and enter the 16-digit control number provided to them in their notice, on their proxy card, or in the voting instructions that accompanied their proxy materials. Non-shareholders and shareholders without a control number may attend the annual meeting, but they will not have the option to vote or ask questions during the meeting.

A replay of the meeting will be available on American Express’ Investor Relations website at http://ir.americanexpress.com.

Whether or not shareholders plan to attend the virtual-only meeting, American Express encourages shareholders to vote and submit their proxies using one of the methods described in the proxy materials in advance of the meeting.
