Amazon.com Inc.'s Prime Day sale will be held June 21 and 22, according to records reviewed by Bloomberg News and a person familiar with the matter, as the company tries to get its big summer sale back on schedule after postponing it last year due to the pandemic.

Amazon notified employees about the dates and asked them to keep the information confidential until an official announcement in the coming days, according to the records. The company didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Amazon's first Prime Day was in 2015 and it has since grown into a two-day sales blitz, allowing Amazon to process more transactions.
