Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from Eastern Company (EML) 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 EML 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 EML filings page.
The Eastern Company is asking shareholders to vote at its 2026 virtual annual meeting on May 6, 2026. Holders of 6,036,390 common shares as of March 9, 2026 can elect six directors, approve advisory executive pay and ratify Fiondella, Milone & LaSaracina LLP as auditor.
The proxy highlights refreshed governance, including reducing the Board from eight to six members, disbanding the Executive Committee, updated committee charters and codes of ethics, and a strong focus on risk oversight, safety and shareholder engagement. Executive pay is heavily performance-based; 2025 bonuses and several performance equity awards did not vest because financial targets were not met.
