Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from Village Super Market (VLGEA) 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 VLGEA 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 VLGEA filings page.
Village Super Market, Inc. asks shareholders to vote at its December 11, 2026 virtual annual meeting on nine director nominees, KPMG LLP’s appointment for fiscal 2027, an advisory executive-pay resolution and a proposed 2026 Equity Incentive Plan. Class A shares carry one vote each and Class B shares ten; the Sumas Family Group holds shares representing more than 50% of votes eligible in director elections.
The plan, subject to shareholder approval, would reserve 1,200,000 Class A shares, equal to 8% of outstanding common shares as of October 12, 2026; the Board expects this capacity to support awards for approximately 10 years. Fiscal 2026 restricted-stock grants shifted to three-year graded vesting, subject to continued employment. Named executive officers received 3% salary increases for fiscal 2027; their aggregate fiscal 2026 bonuses were 5% lower than in fiscal 2025, alongside a 7% decrease in net income excluding nonrecurring items cited by the Compensation Committee.
The company and John J. Sumas own 95% and 5%, respectively, of a lender that loaned $4,431,400 to an investment fund. Sumas lent the lender $221,570 at 7.00% annually, and $8,270 in interest was paid to him in fiscal 2026. A community development entity loaned $5,562,975 to a company subsidiary at approximately 1.24%, partly funding the East Orange replacement store.
