A company is required to file its annual proxy statement
with the SEC no later than the date proxy materials are first sent or given
to shareholders. You can see this filing by using the SEC's database, known
as
EDGAR. To access the
EDGAR database, go to the SEC's web site
-
www.sec.gov - and find the section
entitled "Filings
and Forms (EDGAR)." Click on "Search
for Company Filings." When you get to the screen entitled "Search
EDGAR Database," click on "Companies
and Other Filers." Then enter the name of the company and then click
"Find Companies." Select the appropriate company to view its SEC filings.
To view the annual proxy statement,
select the most recent filing that has the
title "DEF 14A." It's called a "DEF 14A"
because it's the "definitive," or final,
proxy statement. "14A" refers to the fact
that proxy statements are filed pursuant to
Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934.
