Anyone want to explain what this is?

A bold sales prediction by Apple ... but after last year these predictions are plausible.

Notice and Access is a new SEC annual report distribution model. Prior to this year, publicly held companies had to mail, at minimum, printed copies of Form 10-K (the annual report), proxy card, etc. to shareholders for them to review before the annual shareholder meeting. The new Notice and Access model allows them to post these materials online and notifying shareholders they are available instead of printing and mailing everything to everybody.

Please, what does this mean "mailed to Apple's beneficial shareholders." What is a "beneficial shareholder"?

A beneficial shareholder is a shareholder who enjoys the benefits of ownership even though the title is kept in the name of a broker/dealer, bank nominee or custodian fund. When shares are kept in this manner, it is often referred to as keeping the shares in "Street Name.”

On the other hand, a registered shareholder is a shareholder who holds shares directly in their name, in certificate or book-entry form, and is listed on the records of a corporation as owning the shares of the corporation.
