Definitive Proxy Statement (DEF 14A) SEC Filing API

Form DEF 14A is the definitive proxy statement that U.S. public companies file ahead of their annual or special shareholder meetings. It contains the matters to be voted on, board nominee biographies, executive compensation tables (including the Summary Compensation Table and pay-versus-performance disclosure), related-party transactions, and beneficial ownership of officers and directors. DEF 14A filings are the primary source for executive pay, board composition, and shareholder voting research. The SEC Filing API returns DEF 14A filing URLs and dates for any public company by ticker.
