Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from Crane Company (CR) 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 CR 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 CR filings page.
Crane Company has issued its 2026 proxy for the April 27 annual stockholder meeting in Greenwich, Connecticut. Stockholders are asked to elect nine directors for one-year terms, ratify Deloitte & Touche LLP as 2026 auditors, and approve 2025 executive pay in an advisory vote.
The proxy highlights record 2025 financial and operational results and notes an estimated 157% equity value increase since the 2022 separation, aided by portfolio reshaping and acquisitions. Crane completed the divestiture of its Engineered Materials segment, agreed to acquire Panametrics, Druck and Reuter‑Stokes for about $1.06 billion, and signed a deal for optek‑Danulat.
The Board describes extensive governance practices, including a lead independent director, majority‑voting with a resignation policy, strict overboarding limits, stock ownership guidelines, and active refreshment. A planned CEO transition is detailed: Alejandro (Alex) Alcala will become CEO at the annual meeting, while current CEO Max H. Mitchell will move to Executive Chairman, and the Board expects to expand to 10 members.
