Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from AvalonBay Communities, Inc. (AVB) 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 AVB 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 AVB filings page.
AvalonBay Communities is asking stockholders to vote at its 2026 virtual annual meeting on key governance and compensation items, including a new equity plan. The meeting is scheduled for May 20, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, with a record date of March 23, 2026.
Stockholders are being asked to elect 12 directors, approve on an advisory basis the compensation of named executive officers, approve the 2026 Equity Incentive Plan, and ratify Ernst & Young LLP as independent auditor. The 2026 plan would authorize 4,000,000 shares for equity awards, replacing an older plan nearing expiration, and is designed to continue aligning pay with performance and stockholder interests. The proxy also highlights board independence, leadership structure, committee responsibilities, human capital metrics, and director compensation practices.
