[DEF 14A] Legacy Housing Corp Definitive Proxy Statement
Legacy Housing Corporation will hold its Annual Meeting on December 18, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. local time at 1600 Airport Freeway, Suite 100, Bedford, Texas.
Stockholders will vote on two items: (1) elect five directors for one-year terms — Curtis D. Hodgson, Kenneth E. Shipley, Brian J. Ferguson, Skyler M. Howton and Jeffrey K. Stouder — and (2) ratify Frazier & Deeter, LLC as the independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025. The Board recommends voting FOR all nominees and FOR ratification.
The record date is October 29, 2025. A quorum requires a majority of the 23,868,727 shares outstanding as of the record date. Brokers may exercise discretion only on the auditor ratification proposal.
Audit fees to Frazier & Deeter were $590,000 (2024) and $505,000 (2023). The Audit Committee reported material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting in 2024 and noted management’s continued evaluation in 2025. The Board has three fully independent committees; Kenneth E. Shipley serves as Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer during the CEO search.
