Each is ranked by the shares voted on the item that the most managers of that type reported, shown as a share of the 87,916,143 shares outstanding at the time of that meeting.

Percentages above are of 87,916,143 shares outstanding, as reported by ANSYS INC. on its Form 10-Q dated April 25, 2025 (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 ANSYS INC.’s 10-Q dated April 25, 2025. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At ANSYS INC.'s shareholder meeting held June 27, 2025, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 794 asset managers reported how they voted on 10 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 7,621 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Advisory Approval of the Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers — ANSYS INC.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 86% 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: ANSYS INC.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 1, 2025.
