Hormel Foods Corporation announced it will hold its 2024 annual meeting of stockholders virtually.

The live webcast of the meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 30, via www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HRL2024 and is open to all registered stockholders or beneficial owners of the company’s common stock at the close of business on Dec. 1, 2023. Registration on the meeting site begins at 5:45 p.m., fifteen minutes prior to the start of the meeting.

Stockholders will need the 16-digit control number found on the Notice of Internet Availability, the proxy card or on the instructions that accompany the proxy materials to participate in the Annual Meeting and vote shares electronically. If the shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record, the voting instructions provided by the bank, broker or other holder of record should include the 16-digit control number.

Following the business of the stockholder meeting, there will be a question-and-answer session. Stockholders may submit a question in advance of the meeting at www.proxyvote.com after logging in with the control number. Questions may be submitted during the Annual Meeting through www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HRL2024.

For those who want to attend who are not stockholders at the close of business, visit www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HRL2024 and register as a guest. Guests will not be able to vote or submit a question during the meeting.
