Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from Gabelli Utility Trust (GUT) 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 GUT 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 GUT filings page.
The Gabelli Utility Trust is asking shareholders to vote at its annual meeting on May 11, 2026 to elect four Trustees to three-year terms ending at the 2029 annual meeting. Common and Preferred shareholders voting together will elect Frank J. Fahrenkopf, Jr., Robert J. Morrissey, and Salvatore J. Zizza, while Preferred shareholders voting as a separate class will elect John Birch. Shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 12, 2026 may vote, with 89,599,606 Common Shares and 1,892,779 Preferred Shares outstanding. The proxy explains board structure, committee responsibilities, trustee compensation, beneficial ownership, and how the Delaware Statutory Trust Act control share provisions can limit voting power for large holders unless approved by non‑interested shareholders. The Board, including all Independent Trustees, unanimously recommends voting “FOR” each nominee.
