Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from Starwood Property Trust, Inc. (STWD) 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 STWD 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 STWD filings page.
Starwood Property Trust is asking shareholders to vote at its virtual 2026 annual meeting on April 23, 2026. The agenda includes electing ten directors for one-year terms, an advisory say-on-pay vote on executive compensation, and ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as independent auditor for 2026.
The Board is majority independent, with Barry S. Sternlicht serving as Chairman and CEO and Richard D. Bronson as Lead Independent Director. Four standing committees (Audit, Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance, and Investment) are fully in place, with the Audit Committee chair designated as a financial expert.
Named executive officers are employed by an external manager; the company pays cash compensation directly only to CFO Rina Paniry, while President Jeffrey DiModica is compensated by an affiliate. In 2025, non-executive directors received a $110,000 annual cash retainer plus $150,000 in restricted stock, along with additional committee retainers.
The proxy highlights sustainability and human capital initiatives, including affordable housing investments, energy-efficient real estate lending, and diversity metrics. It also describes the management agreement under which the external manager runs day-to-day operations in return for fees tied to shareholders’ equity and performance.
