Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from AutoNation, Inc. (AN) 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 AN 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 AN filings page.
AutoNation, Inc. is asking stockholders to vote at its virtual 2026 annual meeting on April 28, 2026. Investors will elect nine directors, ratify KPMG as auditor, cast an advisory vote on executive pay, and decide on a new 2026 Employee Equity and Incentive Plan, which would replace the 2017 plan for future awards.
Stockholders will also vote on two stockholder proposals regarding an independent board chair and greenhouse gas reporting, both opposed by the Board. The proxy details 2025 performance, with adjusted operating income up 3%, adjusted net income up 8%, adjusted EPS up 16%, and total stockholder return up 22%, and explains a pay program heavily weighted to performance-based cash and equity.
The Board highlights strong governance features, including an independent chair, majority voting with a resignation policy, proxy access, and a 25% ownership threshold to call special meetings. It also discloses a sizable, one-time performance-based stock unit award for CEO Michael Manley that vests only upon ambitious five-year stock price appreciation hurdles and continued service.
