Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Results Conference Call
Monday, February 22, 2021 02:00 PM PT

Join Webcast

The 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is scheduled to take place on April 30, 2020 at 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time by virtual meeting format at www.meetingcenter.io/293076150. Online access to the meeting will begin at 12:45 p.m. Pacific Time. 

Due to the public health impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and to protect the health and well-being of Cadence’s stockholders and employees, Cadence has changed the format of its 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to virtual only. Individuals will not be able to attend the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders in person.

Cadence is pleased to provide proxy materials for the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders over the internet in accordance with the Notice and Access Rule adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

As a result, most of our stockholders as of the close of business on March 2, 2020 (the "Record Date") will receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials instead of paper copies of the 2019 Form 10-K and 2020 proxy materials.

The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials provides instructions on how to access the 2020 proxy materials, vote via the internet or by telephone, and obtain paper copies of the 2019 Form 10-K and 2020 proxy materials.

Cadence 2019 Form 10-K and 2020 Proxy Statement

To view the PDF files, download the latest free Acrobat Reader from Adobe.

We encourage you to access and review the information contained in the 2020 proxy materials before voting. Only holders of Cadence common stock on the Record Date will be entitled to vote on all matters to be voted on at the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

For your convenience, we have provided the links below for our stockholders as of the Record Date. Note that you will need the control number provided on your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials in order to access the 2020 proxy materials and vote over the internet.
