SEC Form DEFR14A

SEC Form DEFR14A is required to be filed with the SEC to revise definitive proxy information previously filed in a form DEFA14A. When a company releases a proxy statement soliciting shareholder votes ahead of an annual meeting, the company is required to file an SEC Form 14A. There is standard information that is included in the Form 14A. When the company wishes to include extra information in the proxy statement, the company must file a Form DEFA14A, which declares and specifies the extra information to be included. When the company wants to amend the extra information they will be include, they must file SEC Form DEFR14A. 

SEC Form DEFR14A allows a company to revise the extra definitive information they will include in their proxy statement. Proxy statements are sent out prior to the annual shareholder meeting and solicit votes from shareholders. Section 14A of the SEC code deals with notification to shareholders of matters to be brought before shareholders for a vote. SEC Form 14A usually includes information such as voting procedure, executive and board compensation, audit committee information, and background information regarding board members and the company. DEFA14A is a filing that discloses additional definitive information in relation to the vote solicitation. Each change to proxy materials requires either an amendment or a revised form, as in the case of a DEFR14A.
