2009 Shareholders Meeting
The annual Packers shareholders' meeting will be held Thursday, July 30, 2009 inside Lambeau Field, starting at 10 a.m. The meeting will take place rain or shine.
Shareholders should note only one ticket for the meeting will be issued per shareholder account, even if two or more people jointly own the share. In addition, up to four additional guest tickets are allowed to be requested per shareholder account.
This will mark the sixth time the meeting will be held in the historic stadium (1998-99, 2006-08).
More detailed information about the meeting will be included in proxies sent to shareholders in early June.

Shareholders
Green Bay Packers, Inc., has been a publicly owned, non-profit corporation since Aug. 18, 1923, when original articles of incorporation were filed with Wisconsin's secretary of state.
A total of 4,750,937 shares is owned by 112,120 stockholders -- none of whom receives any dividend on the initial investment.
The corporation is governed by a board of directors and a seven-member executive committee.
One of the more remarkable business stories in American history, the team is kept viable by its shareholders -- its unselfish fans. Even more incredible, the Packers have survived during the current era, permeated by free agency and the NFL salary cap. And, thanks in large part to Brown County's passage of the 2000 Lambeau Field referendum, the club will remain solvent and highly competitive well into the future due to its redeveloped stadium.
Fans have come to the team's financial rescue on several occasions, including four previous stock sales: 1923, 1935, 1950 and 1997.
To protect against someone taking control of the team, the articles of incorporation prohibit any person from owning more than 200,000 shares.
