Shareholder Proposals

Item 4
G
Amend First Solar's governing documents to allow shareholders owning 10% of outstanding common stock, without a minimum holding period, to call a special shareholder meeting.

The proposal requests that First Solar amend its governing documents to permit holders of a combined 10% of outstanding common stock (or the lowest percentage permitted by state law) to call a special shareholder meeting, and to eliminate any minimum holding-period requirement for those shares. The proponent argues that recent purchasers may be the most informed and should be able to convene meetings, and requests that special meetings may be held online. The supporting statement cites recent company-specific and industry headwinds — including lowered guidance, stock price declines, tariff-related challenges, and regulatory uncertainty — as reasons shareholders may need an easier ability to call special meetings. The proposal emphasizes preventing board complacency by lowering the current 25% ownership threshold and the one-year holding requirement.
