Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from AmBase Corp (ABCP) in our archive over the last 12 months, newest first, and each one links through to the document itself with the summary and the scores our analysis gives it.
A DEF 14A covers the proxy statement, with executive pay and the shareholder votes, so if you follow ABCP and want that one kind of document rather than the whole filing history, this is the page to keep. The company's other filings, of every form, are on the full ABCP filings page.
AmBase Corporation calls its 2026 annual meeting for May 27, 2026 in Tarrytown, NY, asking shareholders to elect Chairman, President and CEO Richard A. Bianco to a new three-year board term and to approve, on an advisory basis, compensation for named executive officers.
The proxy details a highly concentrated ownership structure, with BARC Investments LLC, controlled by Alessandra F. Bianco and Richard A. Bianco Jr., holding about 59.9 million shares, or 70.5% of common stock as of March 20, 2026. Directors and officers as a group control 72.4%.
Executive pay is largely salary and benefits, with no bonuses, equity awards or stock plans in 2024–2025. In 2025, total compensation was $540,742 for Mr. Bianco, $280,589 for CFO John Ferrara and $164,129 for Treasurer Joseph R. Bianco.
The proxy also highlights several related-party arrangements tied to AmBase’s investment and litigation over the 111 West 57th Street property, including a 10% subordinated participation interest for Mr. Bianco and new 2026 litigation funding agreements under which Mr. Bianco and BARC provide up to $8 million of funding in exchange for priority and percentage interests in future litigation proceeds, reducing AmBase’s share of any recovery.
