Largest 3M CO. shareholders voting in 2023-2024

Ranked separately for each type of Form N-PX report. An institutional manager can report shares that a fund it advises also reports, so the two tables can list the same shares and are never added together. Each is ranked by the shares voted on the item that the most managers of that type reported, shown as a share of the 553,361,257 shares outstanding at the time of that meeting.

About this page

Every figure above is derived from filings made with the US Securities and Exchange Commission: Form N-PX, in which registered funds disclose how they voted every proxy and institutional managers disclose their votes on executive pay (say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and golden parachutes), and Form 8-K Item 5.07, in which the company reports its own meeting results. Shares outstanding are taken from 3M CO.’s 10-Q dated March 31, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

At 3M CO.'s shareholder meeting held May 14, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 1,236 asset managers reported how they voted on 15 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 13,427 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Advisory approval of executive compensation. — 3M CO.'s filing reports the proposal as not approved, with 45.3% support of the votes cast (FOR divided by FOR plus AGAINST, the conventional basis for proxy support; abstentions, broker non-votes and unvoted shares are excluded because none of them took a side). Source: 3M CO.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 16, 2024.
