Market Update: Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) – Exxon Mobil must allow climate change vote -SEC

In a Tuesday letter to Exxon seen by Reuters, the SEC said the oil producer cannot keep a proposal spearheaded by New York state’s comptroller from a full shareholder vote at the company’s annual meeting in May. If approved, the proposal would force Exxon to outline specific risks that climate change or legislation designed to curb it could pose to its ability to operate profitably. Read more on this.
