Highwoods Properties, Inc. is asking stockholders to vote at its 2026 virtual-only annual meeting on May 12, 2026, to elect seven directors, ratify Deloitte & Touche LLP as auditor for 2026, and approve an advisory resolution on executive compensation.
The board remains majority independent, with separate chair and CEO roles and active audit, compensation and investment committees. Director pay in 2025 combined cash retainers with stock awards, and independent directors attended at least 75% of meetings.
Executive pay is heavily performance-based, using FFO per share, net operating income growth and average occupancy. For 2025, these metrics produced a 119% incentive performance factor, and CEO total compensation of $5.1 million was about 62 times the company’s median employee pay.

The filing states amount beneficially owned: 0 and percent of class: 0% as reported in the amendment.
The amendment explains the change is pursuant to SEC Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998), and lists Vanguard's Malvern address and a signature by Ashley Grim dated 03/26/2026.
