Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from Wesbanco Inc D/S SER B (WSBCV) 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 WSBCV 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 WSBCV filings page.
Wesbanco, Inc. is asking shareholders to vote at its April 15, 2026 virtual annual meeting on several key items. Shareholders will elect six directors (five for three-year terms ending in 2029 and one for a one-year term ending in 2027), approve an advisory say‑on‑pay vote for 2025 executive compensation, ratify Deloitte & Touche LLP as independent auditor for 2026, and approve the 2026 Equity Incentive Plan.
The proxy describes board restructuring, including voluntary retirements, a reduction in board size from 19 to 15, and reclassification of certain directors to rebalance staggered terms. It highlights 2025 results following the Premier Financial acquisition: net interest income of $814 million, net interest margin of 3.53%, core return on tangible assets of 1.19%, and core return on tangible common equity of 16.89%. Deposits increased by more than $661 million, funding organic loan growth of $657 million, while the efficiency ratio improved to 52.9%.
Executive pay is positioned as performance‑based, with higher base salaries and incentive targets to reflect larger scale post‑merger, but with most compensation at risk via annual and long‑term incentives. 2025 annual cash bonuses for named executives paid out at 150% of target after all key performance goals, including core EPS of $3.40 and credit quality metrics, exceeded maximum levels. The proxy also details governance practices such as majority independent directors, stock ownership guidelines, anti‑hedging policies, and a clawback policy for incentive‑based pay.
