Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from U.S. Bancorp (USB) 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 USB 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 USB filings page.
U.S. Bancorp has released its 2026 proxy detailing proposals, board changes, and governance practices ahead of the virtual annual meeting on April 21, 2026. Shareholders are asked to elect 12 directors, approve an advisory vote on executive compensation, and ratify Ernst & Young LLP as auditor for the 2026 fiscal year, with the board recommending a “FOR” vote on all three items.
The proxy highlights a planned leadership transition: after more than 40 years at the company, Executive Chairman Andrew Cecere will retire from the board at the 2026 meeting, and CEO and President Gunjan Kedia will also become Chairman. Roland Hernandez will continue as Lead Independent Director. The filing emphasizes an independent, skills-diverse board, detailed committee responsibilities, and strong governance features such as majority voting for directors, proxy access, no poison pill, and robust board and committee evaluation and education processes.
The board also created a new Technology Committee effective January 1, 2026 to oversee technology strategy, modernization, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity, while the Risk Management Committee continues holistic oversight of key financial and non-financial risks. U.S. Bancorp underscores its ethics focus, noting recognition as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies for the 11th consecutive year in 2025, and encourages shareholders to vote electronically by the April 20, 2026 proxy deadline.
