The Trade Desk Announces Adjournment of Special Meeting of Stockholders

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 7, 2020--The Trade Desk, Inc.

The special meeting was adjourned to allow the Company additional time to solicit votes in favor of the proposals to be acted on by stockholders at the meeting.

The special meeting is being held to approve various proposals related to the Company’s dual class structure, including to establish a fixed termination date for the structure and other enhancements to our corporate governance. These proposals are described in more detail in the Company’s proxy statement dated October 27, 2020, furnished to our stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the board of directors for use at the special meeting.

The record date for determining stockholders eligible to vote at the special meeting will remain the close of business on October 20, 2020.
