The firm needs to file a proxy statement, otherwise known as a Form DEF 14A (Definitive Proxy Statement), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Corporations must submit their proxy statements annually as form DEF14A. Corporations registering securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act must send a proxy statement before their annual shareholder meetings. Regular and special meetings require proxy statements.
The proxy statement (also called a DEF 14A by the SEC) is a shareholder report filed with the SEC soliciting shareholder votes.
Schedule 14A and Regulation 14A together comprise the SEC's requirements for the proxy solicitation process. Schedule 14A sets out the information required to be in the proxy statement. For more information, see Practice Note, Proxy Statements.
