Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from V.F. Corporation (VFC) 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 VFC 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 VFC filings page.
VF Corporation is asking shareholders to vote at its virtual 2026 Annual Meeting on July 28, 2026, on four items: electing 11 directors, an advisory say-on-pay vote, ratifying PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for fiscal 2027, and a shareholder proposal on an animal-derived materials policy that the Board recommends voting against.
The Board highlights fiscal 2026 as an inflection point, with a return to full-year revenue growth, approximately $9.3 billion in revenue and about $0.8 billion of net debt repaid, reducing the leverage ratio from 5.1x to 3.1x over two years, aided by portfolio actions including the sales of Supreme and Dickies. The proxy emphasizes VF’s transformation strategy, expanded AI oversight, strong focus on talent, and extensive shareholder engagement reaching investors representing nearly 70% of outstanding shares.
Non-employee directors receive a $100,000 cash retainer and an equity retainer of about $180,000 in director stock units for fiscal 2026, with an approved increase of the annual equity retainer to $200,000 for fiscal 2027. The Talent and Compensation Committee details a pay-for-performance philosophy and explains a purely performance-based long-term CEO equity award designed to align Bracken Darrell’s incentives with VF’s medium-term financial targets and ongoing turnaround.
