This DEFA14A provides the specific agenda for Carnival's Annual Meeting on April 17, 2026, supplementing the definitive proxy statement filed earlier today. Key proposals include seeking shareholder approval for the allotment of new shares and the disapplication of pre-emption rights for Carnival plc, which could lead to future dilution. Conversely, the company is also seeking authority to buy back Carnival plc ordinary shares in the open market, which could be a positive signal for capital return. These proposals are significant as they grant the board flexibility in future capital management decisions, especially in the context of the recently announced unification of its dual-listed company structure.
