Apple CEO Tim Cook calls a shareholder lawsuit against the company a “silly sideshow” but says he is open to looking at the shareholder’s proposals for sharing more cash with investors.

Cook says the proposal puts more power in the hands of shareholders, making it difficult to understand why a shareholder would fight it.

Cook was speaking at a Goldman Sachs investor conference in San Francisco.
