Largest ABBOTT LABORATORIES 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.

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. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

At ABBOTT LABORATORIES's shareholder meeting held April 26, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 1,525 asset managers reported how they voted on 14 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 17,513 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Say on Pay - An Advisory Vote on the Approval of Executive Compensation — ABBOTT LABORATORIES's filing reports the proposal as approved, with 89% 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: ABBOTT LABORATORIES's Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 2024.
