Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from BFHIP (BFHIP) 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 BFHIP 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 BFHIP filings page.
Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. is asking stockholders to vote at its virtual annual meeting on May 19, 2026 on four items: election of nine directors, an advisory vote on executive pay, approval of a 2026 employee stock purchase plan, and ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as auditor.
The company highlights a strong 2025, with net income of $521 million, diluted EPS of $10.96, and tangible book value per common share of $57.57, all sharply higher than 2024. It repurchased $310 million of stock, raised its quarterly dividend by 10% to $0.23 per share, and grew consumer deposits to $8.5 billion, which represented 48% of fourth-quarter 2025 total funding.
The proxy emphasizes board refreshment and governance: eight of nine nominees are independent, seven new directors have joined in the last seven years, and current Chair Roger Ballou will retire at the 2026 meeting, with director John C. Gerspach Jr. expected to become Chair if elected. The board stresses robust risk oversight, including cybersecurity and responsible AI, extensive investor engagement, and a sustainability framework focused on responsible growth, human capital, environmental goals and community investment, including $14 million in 2025 charitable donations.
