Burlington Stores, Inc. is asking stockholders to vote at its 2026 virtual-only annual meeting on May 19, 2026. Holders of common stock as of March 25, 2026 may vote online, by phone, by mail, or during the webcast.
Stockholders will vote on electing seven directors, ratifying Deloitte & Touche LLP as auditor for the fiscal year ending January 30, 2027, a non-binding Say-on-Pay advisory vote on executive compensation, and a non-binding vote on how often to hold future Say-on-Pay votes. The Board recommends voting for all director nominees, for the auditor and Say-on-Pay, and for an annual Say-on-Pay vote.
The proxy highlights Burlington’s off-price retail model and strong fiscal 2025 results: net sales of $11.5 billion, up from $10.6 billion, a 9% increase; net income of $610 million, up 21%; and earnings of $9.51 per share versus $7.80 in fiscal 2024. Adjusted EBIT reached $923 million and adjusted EPS was $10.17. The company operated 1,212 stores at year-end, a 9% increase, and ended the year with $2.2 billion of liquidity, including $1,233 million in cash, after retiring 2025 convertible notes and repurchasing $251 million of common stock.
The proxy also details corporate governance practices such as an independent chair, a majority independent board, proxy access, majority voting in uncontested director elections, and robust stock ownership guidelines. Executive pay is described as heavily performance-based, with about 90% of the CEO’s target annual compensation and about 83% for other named executives at risk through incentive and equity awards.
