Each is ranked by the shares voted on the item that the most managers of that type reported, shown as a share of the 509,580,190 shares outstanding at the time of that meeting.

Percentages above are of 509,580,190 shares outstanding, as reported by BAXTER INTERNATIONAL INC. on its Form 10-Q dated April 25, 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 BAXTER INTERNATIONAL INC.’s 10-Q dated April 25, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 13, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At BAXTER INTERNATIONAL INC.'s shareholder meeting held May 7, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 905 asset managers reported how they voted on 16 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 11,501 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Advisory vote to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation — BAXTER INTERNATIONAL INC.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 87% 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: BAXTER INTERNATIONAL INC.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 9, 2024.
