Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from Oil-Dri Corporation of America (ODC) 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 ODC 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 ODC filings page.
Oil-Dri Corp of America will hold its virtual 2026 annual meeting on December 8, 2026, asking stockholders to elect eight directors. Director Amy L. Ryan is not standing for re-election, and the Board plans to reduce its size from nine members to eight. The Board recommends votes for the director nominees, ratification of Grant Thornton LLP as auditor for fiscal 2027, and an advisory resolution on named executive compensation. The say-on-pay vote is nonbinding; the next one is scheduled for 2029 unless the Board changes its policy.
Class B Stock carries ten votes per share, compared with one vote per Common Stock share. Daniel S. Jaffee, Chairman and CEO, and the Jaffee Investment Partnership, L.P., own Class B Stock with more than 50% of combined voting power. Oil-Dri relies on exemptions allowing its nominating and compensation committees not to be entirely independent. Grant Thornton’s total fees were $727,542 for fiscal 2026, including $712,542 in audit fees and $15,000 in audit-related fees.
