This DEF 14A outlines the proposals for Canterbury Park's upcoming annual shareholder meeting on June 4, 2026. The most significant proposal is the request to amend the Company's Stock Plan to authorize an additional 200,000 shares for issuance. This represents an increase of approximately 3.9 percentage points in potential dilution based on current outstanding shares, bringing the total potential dilution under the amended plan to 6.7%. While this is an authorization for future incentive grants rather than an immediate issuance, it is a notable increase in potential dilution, particularly in the context of the company's reported net loss of $0.53 million for fiscal year 2025. The company also seeks to re-elect its seven directors and ratify its independent auditor. The filing also notes that the CEO and CFO each had one late Form 4 filing in 2025, a minor compliance issue.
