Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from Cousins Properties Inc. (CUZ) 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 CUZ 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 CUZ filings page.
Cousins Properties is asking stockholders to vote at its 2026 annual meeting on four items: electing nine directors, an advisory say-on-pay, approving an amended and restated 2019 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, and ratifying Deloitte & Touche as auditor for 2026. The Board recommends voting in favor of all proposals.
The company highlights a Sun Belt-focused Class A office strategy, managing 21.1 million square feet across markets such as Austin, Atlanta, Charlotte, Tampa, Phoenix, Dallas, and Nashville at the end of 2025. In 2025 it leased 2.1 million square feet, acquired The Link in Dallas for $218.0 million, issued $500.0 million of 5.250% unsecured senior notes, and sold 2.9 million shares under an at-the-market program at an average price of $30.44 per share.
CEO pay is described as highly performance-based, with 90% of 2025 target compensation at risk and 76% delivered in long-term equity including market- and performance-conditioned RSUs tied to relative total stockholder return and aggregate FFO over 2025–2027. Governance features include annual director elections, an independent Chair, majority voting for directors, anti-hedging and anti-pledging policies, and strong board and committee independence.
