Filing Explained

The October 6 meeting is scheduled; holders of record on August 11 are entitled to notice and vote, while the proxy and vote remain pending.

Form 6-K is a foreign private issuer's interim report for material information published in its home market; this 2026-07-13 filing announces that Costamare Inc.'s board has called its 2026 annual meeting for 2026-10-06.

Common holders of record at the close of business on 2026-08-11 will be entitled to receive notice and vote, so the disclosure sets the meeting timetable and voting eligibility while the shareholder vote remains pending.

A proxy statement presents the matters shareholders will vote on; it proposes, and the vote disposes.

The filing points to a later proxy statement, to be sent on or around 2026-08-12, for those voting matters.

The named milestones to monitor are the proxy mailing around 2026-08-12 and the annual meeting on 2026-10-06.
