Corpay, Inc. Announces Date of 2026 Annual Meeting and Shareholder Proposal Deadlines
Key Highlights:
- 2026 Annual Meeting Date Set: Corpay, Inc. (“the Company”) has established May 2026 as the date for its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (“2026 Annual Meeting”).
- Change of Meeting Date: The 2026 Annual Meeting has been scheduled more than 30 days earlier than the anniversary date of the 2025 Annual Meeting, which may impact important shareholder proposal deadlines.
- Updated Deadlines for Shareholder Proposals and Director Nominations: All proposals and director nominations for the 2026 Annual Meeting must be received by March 9, 2026.
- Rule 14a-8 Proposals: To be included in the 2026 proxy materials, shareholder proposals under SEC Rule 14a-8 must be received in writing by the March 9, 2026 deadline at Corpay’s Atlanta headquarters.
- Advance Notice for Director Nominations and Other Proposals: Any stockholder wishing to nominate directors or submit proposals outside Rule 14a-8 must also meet this new deadline and comply with the Company’s Bylaws.
- Important Requirements for Proxy Solicitation: Any person intending to solicit proxies in support of director nominees (other than the Company’s nominees) must notify Corpay by March 9, 2026, and include the names of all nominees and a statement of intent to solicit holders of at least 67% of the voting power.
- Deadlines Supersede Previous Proxy Statement Dates: Previous deadlines as outlined in the 2025 proxy statement no longer apply for the 2026 Annual Meeting.
Details for Investors and Shareholders:
The board of directors of Corpay, Inc. (NYSE: CPAY), a leading provider of business services, has formally set May 2026 as the date for its upcoming 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. This represents a significant advancement from the previous annual meeting cycle, as the meeting will occur more than 30 days prior to the anniversary of the 2025 Annual Meeting.
Why does this matter? Under SEC rules, when a company’s annual meeting date changes by more than 30 days from the prior year, deadlines for submitting shareholder proposals and director nominations are reset. As a result, the prior deadlines disclosed in the 2025 proxy statement are no longer valid. Shareholders should be aware that missing the new deadline will result in the exclusion of their proposals or nominations from the 2026 proxy materials and meeting agenda.
Important Dates and Submission Address
- Deadline for Proposals/Nominations/Proxy Notices: March 9, 2026
- Submission Address: Corpay, Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 3280 Peachtree Road, Suite 2400, Atlanta, Georgia 30305
Shareholder Actions Required
- To have a proposal included in the proxy materials under Rule 14a-8, it must be received in writing by the March 9, 2026 deadline.
- Any proposals or director nominations outside Rule 14a-8 (as permitted by the Company’s Bylaws) must also be received by this date.
- Any person soliciting proxies for director nominees other than the Company’s own slate must provide advance notice by March 9, 2026, with the names of all nominees and a statement of intent regarding the level of solicitation (at least 67% of voting power).
- All submissions must comply with SEC rules, regulations, and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws.
Potential Price-Sensitive Implications
The change in the annual meeting date and the resulting acceleration of shareholder proposal and nomination deadlines could be significant for investors. Any failure to comply with the new timeline and requirements may impact the ability of shareholders to influence the composition of the board or submit other proposals, potentially affecting corporate governance dynamics and future strategic direction. This is especially relevant for activist shareholders or groups seeking to nominate alternative directors or advance other initiatives.
Additionally, the Company’s transparency in updating shareholders on the new deadlines, in compliance with SEC regulations, reflects its ongoing commitment to good governance and may influence investor sentiment as the proxy season approaches.
