A DEF 14A covers the proxy statement, with executive pay and the shareholder votes, so if you follow KTB 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 KTB filings page.
Kontoor Brands, Inc. has issued its definitive proxy for the 2026 virtual-only annual meeting on April 23, 2026. Shareholders will vote on electing six directors, ratifying PricewaterhouseCoopers as auditor, approving executive pay, and choosing how often to hold future say‑on‑pay votes, where the Board recommends "1 YEAR."
The proxy details a mostly independent, skills-diverse six‑member Board, majority voting with mandatory resignation tenders, and a combined Chairman/CEO with a Lead Independent Director. It outlines robust committee structures, risk oversight (including cybersecurity), and an executive pay program heavily weighted to at‑risk, performance-based equity.
Kontoor highlights strong 2025 results, including 21% revenue growth aided by the Helly Hansen acquisition, higher adjusted EPS and operating cash flow of $455.8 million, plus $141 million returned to shareholders via dividends and buybacks. The company reports a 173.5% annual bonus payout and 127.4% PRSU payout based on multi‑year performance, and notes that about 97% of votes in 2025 supported its say‑on‑pay program.
