Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from United Bankshares Inc (UBSI) 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 UBSI 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 UBSI filings page.
United Bankshares, Inc. is soliciting proxies for its 2026 Annual Meeting, where shareholders will elect 14 directors, ratify Ernst & Young LLP as independent auditor for 2026, and approve on an advisory basis the compensation of named executive officers.
Holders of 139,670,543 common shares as of March 5, 2026 may vote in person, by mail, telephone or internet, with cumulative voting available for the director election. The board highlights a supermajority of independent directors, a lead independent director role, and board‑level oversight of risk, governance, audit, and human capital.
The proxy discloses that directors, nominees and executive officers as a group beneficially own 4,433,618 shares, or 3.16% of outstanding stock, while large institutional holders such as BlackRock, The Vanguard Group, State Street and Dimensional Fund Advisors each own more than 5%. Shareholders are also asked to ratify equity compensation plans and review pay practices through the say‑on‑pay vote.
