Comcast Holds 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders
Comcast Chairman & CEO Brian L. Roberts reviewed Comcast's strong financial performance, including the addition of more than 8 million revenue generating units over the last three years, of which nearly one million were added during the first quarter of 2006, five straight years of double-digit operating cash flow growth, and the return of $5.7 billion in value to shareholders through the repurchase of Comcast stock and related securities through the first quarter.
Comcast is off to a strong start for 2006, and Roberts highlighted Comcast's opportunities for continued growth, which include marketing an integrated triple-play product offering to the majority of Comcast customers by the end of the year, and adding eight million Comcast Digital Voice customers by 2009.
At the meeting, shareholders overwhelmingly elected all board nominees, adopted all company-sponsored proposals, and defeated all shareholder proposals.
