Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from Unity Bancorp (UNTY) 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 UNTY 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 UNTY filings page.
Unity Bancorp, Inc. is asking shareholders to vote at its virtual 2026 annual meeting on April 23, 2026. Owners of 10,016,427 common shares as of February 27, 2026 can vote on electing five directors and ratifying Wolf & Company P.C. as independent auditors for 2026.
The company highlights strong 2025 performance, with diluted EPS rising from $4.06 to $5.67, a 20.06% total shareholder return, ROE of 18.07%, ROA of 2.17%, and a 4.52% net interest margin. Assets were about $3.0 billion and deposits $2.3 billion.
Executive pay is positioned as pay-for-performance. CEO James Hughes earned $2.70 million in 2025, including salary, cash incentives, equity awards, and retirement/deferred benefits, for a CEO pay ratio of 37:1 versus the median employee. Bonuses for top executives were tied to pre-provision net revenue returns versus peers and individual goals, with payouts at 122.5% of target for the CEO and President.
The proxy details a largely independent board, committee structure, stock ownership, and governance policies such as a clawback policy, prohibition on hedging and speculative trading in company stock, double-trigger change-in-control protections, and the absence of tax gross-ups. It also outlines change-in-control and severance benefits, including accelerated vesting of equity, for key executives under specified termination scenarios.
