Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from Driven Brands Holdings Inc. (DRVN) 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 DRVN 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 DRVN filings page.
Driven Brands Holdings Inc. is asking stockholders to vote at a virtual 2026 annual meeting on July 28, 2026, to elect three Class III directors, approve on an advisory basis executive pay, and ratify PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as auditor for fiscal 2026. The board has 12 members, seven of whom are independent, and will shrink to 11 after director Peter Swinburn retires at the meeting. Roark Capital–related entities remain controlling stockholders and may designate up to seven directors under a stockholders agreement.
The proxy describes a pay program emphasizing performance-based incentives: base salary, an annual cash bonus tied mainly to Adjusted EBITDA, revenue, and same-store sales, plus long-term equity split between RSUs and performance-based RSUs using cumulative Adjusted EBITDA and relative total stockholder return. For 2025, Adjusted EBITDA did not reach the threshold, so no annual bonuses were paid and 2023 PSUs paid out at 0%. The filing also details the 2025 CEO transition from Jonathan Fitzpatrick to Danny Rivera, director compensation increases, related-party agreements (including an income tax receivable agreement) and beneficial ownership, with Roark-related entities holding about 61.8% of outstanding common stock.
