Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from Utz Brands, Inc. (UTZ) 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 UTZ 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 UTZ filings page.
Utz Brands, Inc. is asking stockholders to vote at its virtual 2026 Annual Meeting on April 23, 2026. The proxy seeks approval to elect four Class III directors to terms ending in 2029, approve a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation, and ratify Grant Thornton LLP as independent auditor for the fiscal year ending January 3, 2027.
In fiscal 2025, Utz reported Net Sales of $1,438.8 million, up 2.1%, and Adjusted EBITDA of $216.5 million, up 8.1%, while Organic Net Sales rose 2.4% and Branded Salty Snacks Organic Net Sales increased 4.7%. The company highlights retail sales growth of 2.9%, volume share gains in core and expansion geographies, and higher household penetration.
The Board emphasizes a majority-independent structure, committee-based oversight of audit, compensation, nominations and ESG matters, and a compensation program weighted toward performance-based incentives. Executive pay uses Adjusted EBITDA, net sales and OGSM goals, plus relative TSR-based performance stock units, to align management with long-term stockholder returns and peer benchmarks.
