Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from Hovnanian Entrprs B New (HOVVB) 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 HOVVB 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 HOVVB filings page.
Hovnanian Enterprises is asking shareholders to vote at its 2026 annual meeting on director elections, auditor ratification, an amended stock incentive plan and an advisory say-on-pay resolution.
The meeting is on March 31, 2026, in Miami. Only holders of record on January 30, 2026 may vote. The company has 5,153,325 Class A shares (one vote each) and 784,718 Class B shares (ten votes each if ownership criteria are certified). Directors and executive officers as a group hold 10.69% of Class A and 94.04% of Class B, effectively assuring approval of board-backed proposals.
The key compensation item is the Fourth Amended and Restated 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, which would set a total share reserve of 1,815,000 shares, with up to 358,735 available for future grants, a net increase of 100,000 shares over the current remaining reserve. The company cites a three-year average equity burn rate of 5.3% and estimates incremental dilution of about 1.5% if the additional shares become fully dilutive against 5,938,043 total shares outstanding.
