Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from The Wendy's Company (WEN) 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 WEN 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 WEN filings page.
The Wendy’s Company is asking stockholders to vote on key governance and compensation items at its fully virtual 2026 Annual Meeting. The meeting will be held by live webcast on May 20, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time, with a March 23, 2026 record date.
Stockholders will vote on electing 8 directors, amending the 2020 Omnibus Award Plan to increase available shares, ratifying Deloitte & Touche LLP as 2026 auditor, approving an advisory say-on-pay resolution and a stockholder proposal to restrict blank-check preferred stock, which the Board recommends voting against.
The proxy describes strong board governance practices, a pay-for-performance executive compensation program emphasizing variable incentives, a U.S. turnaround plan called Project Fresh, and notes CEO succession efforts after the 2025 leadership change, with Interim CEO and CFO Ken Cook currently leading the Company.
