Emerson (NYSE: EMR) announces that it will now hold its 2021 annual shareholders meeting virtually, in lieu of an in-person meeting, in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and guidance from health and government officials against in-person gatherings during the country's response to COVID-19. The annual meeting will continue to be held at 10:00 a.m. (CT) on February 2, 2021.
