Percentages above are of 13,350,180 shares outstanding, as reported by ARGAN INC. on its Form 10-Q dated April 30, 2024 (see the filing on EDGAR). This is the count contemporaneous with the 2023-2024 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 ARGAN INC.’s 10-Q dated April 30, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At ARGAN INC.'s shareholder meeting held June 20, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 194 asset managers reported how they voted on 12 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 2,722 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — The non-binding advisory approval of our executive compensation (the "say-on-pay" vote). — FOR was 94% 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), which is more than half. Whether the item was approved is for the filing to say; that statement has not been read for this item. Source: ARGAN INC.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 20, 2024.
