Each is ranked by the shares voted on the item that the most managers of that type reported, shown as a share of the 477,965,000 shares outstanding at the time of that meeting.

Percentages above are of 477,965,000 shares outstanding, as reported by BGC GROUP INC. on its Form 10-Q dated September 30, 2025 (see the filing on EDGAR). This is the count contemporaneous with the 2025-2026 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 BGC GROUP INC.’s 10-Q dated September 30, 2025. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
