Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from Univest Financial Corporation (UVSP) 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 UVSP 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 UVSP filings page.
Univest Financial Corporation is asking shareholders to vote at its April 23, 2026 annual meeting on three items: electing four Class III directors for terms expiring in 2029, ratifying KPMG LLP as independent auditor for 2026, and approving a non-binding say‑on‑pay proposal for named executive officers.
Shareholders of record at the close of business on February 6, 2026, when 28,083,533 common shares were outstanding, may attend in person in Pennsylvania or virtually and vote by proxy, online, phone, or at the meeting. The board recommends voting in favor of all proposals.
