Daily Journal Corporation has filed a preliminary proxy statement for its February 24, 2026 annual meeting in response to Buxton Helmsley USA, Inc.'s purported nomination of three director candidates. The Company contests Buxton's eligibility to nominate directors, arguing Buxton was not a registered shareholder as of the December 16, 2025 record date and only acquired one share after that date. Daily Journal urges shareholders to vote only for the Company's four nominated directors: Mary Conlin, John B. Frank, Steven Myhill-Jones, and Rasool Rayani.
