Proxy statement

A proxy statement is a statement provided by a firm soliciting shareholder votes. This statement is useful in assessing how management is paid and potential conflict of interest issues with auditors.

The statement includes voting procedure and information, background information about the company's nominated directors, board compensation, executive compensation, and audit fees and committee members. Regulation may govern the requirements of proxy statements.
