Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY INC (BRK-A) 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 BRK-A 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 BRK-A filings page.
Berkshire Hathaway has called its Annual Meeting of Shareholders for May 2, 2026 in Omaha, with shareholders of record as of March 4, 2026 eligible to vote. Investors will elect a 13‑member board, including new CEO Gregory Abel and Chairman Warren Buffett, and cast advisory votes on executive pay and how often future pay votes should occur, with the board preferring a three‑year cycle. The proxy explains Berkshire’s unusually simple pay program: Buffett’s annual compensation has been $100,000 for more than 40 years, and the CEO pay ratio for 2025 was 4.16 to 1. Compensation for other top executives is high but entirely cash‑based, with no equity awards. The filing highlights strong long‑term performance, noting total shareholder return of 117.0% over five years and net operating earnings rising from $27.6 billion in 2021 to $44.4 billion in 2025. Shareholders will also vote on a shareholder proposal requesting a board‑level human‑capital oversight report, which the board unanimously recommends voting against, and will ratify matters related to Deloitte & Touche as independent auditor and standard governance items.
