Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from Global Industrial Company (GIC) 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 GIC 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 GIC filings page.
Global Industrial Company is holding its 2026 annual stockholder meeting virtually on June 1, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. Eastern via live audio webcast. Holders of 38,261,099 common shares as of April 9, 2026 can vote online, by phone, or by mail.
Stockholders will elect eight directors, ratify Ernst & Young LLP as independent auditor for 2026, cast an advisory vote on executive pay, and vote on an amended and restated 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Board recommends “FOR” all four proposals and highlights that the company is a controlled company led by the Leeds family, with 50% of directors independent and all key Board committees fully independent.
The proxy emphasizes pay-for-performance, mandatory stock ownership guidelines, annual say‑on‑pay, and no poison pill or supermajority voting. Ernst & Young billed $2.9 million in 2025 audit and related fees, up from $2.2 million in 2024, all pre‑approved by the Audit Committee.
