Percentages above are of 35,907,686 shares outstanding, as reported by AAR CORP. on its Form 10-Q dated August 31, 2024 (see the filing on EDGAR). This is the count contemporaneous with the 2024-2025 meeting, not today’s. Each holding is as of its own filing, which may be dated before or after the meeting.
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 AAR CORP.’s 10-Q dated August 31, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At AAR CORP.'s shareholder meeting held September 17, 2024, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 308 asset managers reported how they voted on 5 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 1,945 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Advisory proposal to approve our Fiscal 2024 executive compensation — AAR CORP.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 93% 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: AAR CORP.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 17, 2024.
