print(r.json())What is PREN14A?
PREN14A is the submission type for a preliminary proxy statement filed by non-management, usually a dissident shareholder starting a proxy contest to elect directors or pass or defeat proposals. Preliminary materials are filed with the SEC before the definitive proxy is sent to shareholders.
A PREN14A is one of the clearest public signals that a proxy fight has moved past letters and press releases.
Shareholders and other non-management persons soliciting proxies.
At least 10 calendar days before definitive materials are first sent, in line with the proxy rules.
