Form DEFM14A filings contain definitive proxy statements relating to mergers or acquisitions that require shareholder approval. Filed pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, these statements must be submitted to the SEC no later than the date proxy materials are first sent to shareholders in connection with a proposed business combination. The dataset includes all Form DEFM14A filings submitted to EDGAR from January 1994 to present. For each accession number, a metadata file and all documents in the original EDGAR submission are included except image files; this covers the proxy statement, annexes, and any supporting attachments as filed by the registrant. Each filing typically contains a description of the proposed transaction, its terms and conditions, background of negotiations, opinions of financial advisors, risk factors, voting procedures, and recommendations of the board of directors.
