@findinggems yes this is correct. In recent years, some heavily borrowed stocks can become quite squeezed around the AGM as their institutional holders recall stock in order to vote it. The mechanism is that the original owner recalls the stock and the borrower has to return it T+2. If they don't have any, they can try to borrow off someone else (and use it to return to the recaller) or they have to buy it on the market, which can lead to a short squeeze. After the record date has passed, things generally return to normal.
