# Apple Investors Reject China Supply Chain Proposal

Apple Inc. (AAPL, Financials) shareholders voted to reject a proposal requesting a report on the company's reliance on China for manufacturing.

The vote comes as Apple continues efforts to diversify its supply chain beyond China, expanding production to India, Vietnam and the United States. The company has said it plans to assemble some Mac mini computers in the U.S. later this year.

Shareholders approved all four company-backed proposals on the ballot. The only shareholder proposal, focused on China-related manufacturing risks, did not pass.

During the meeting, Chief Executive Tim Cook said Apple plans annual dividend increases but remains focused on investing in innovation, including artificial intelligence initiatives. Cook's total compensation was about $74.29 million in 2025, roughly flat from the prior year.

Support for Apple's executive compensation package slipped slightly, with 8.6% of votes cast opposing the say on pay measure, compared with 7.6% last year.
