Universal Display Corporation (Nasdaq: OLED), enabling energy-efficient displays and lighting with its UniversalPHOLED® technology and materials, today held its Virtual 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
“Our focus remains on being at the forefront of leading-edge OLED technologies and materials and enabling our customers and the industry,” said Steven V. Abramson, Universal Display’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Innovation is at the center of UDC’s DNA and we are continuing to build on our core competencies and pioneering work in phosphorescent materials and OLED technologies. Our team of scientists and engineers are continuously inventing, developing and delivering next-generation emissive material systems and technologies to meet the ever-changing, and ever-evolving, customer specifications for a growing array of consumer applications.”
Abramson continued, “In 2019, we achieved record financial results and continued to strengthen our leadership position. We announced new customer and partnership agreements, expanded our footprint in Asia, established UDC Ventures, and reached a number of important R&D milestones. New OLED capacity and product introductions continue to fuel the proliferation of OLED displays in the consumer electronics landscape. Looking to the near-term, and acknowledging that the COVID-19 pandemic creates a high degree of uncertainty, we are excited to play a key role in the OLED market evolution and are continuing to create and add value for our customers, and fortify our first-mover position in the industry through innovative products, services and solutions.”
During the annual meeting, shareholders voted on the three proposals described in the Company’s proxy statement for the meeting. The shareholders re-elected all nine nominees for the Company’s Board of Directors, approved a non-binding, advisory resolution on compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, and ratified the appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2020.
