Percentages above are of 29,512,551 shares outstanding, as reported by BIG LOTS INC. on its Form 10-K dated April 12, 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 BIG LOTS INC.’s 10-K dated April 12, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 25, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At BIG LOTS INC.'s shareholder meeting held May 29, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 144 asset managers reported how they voted on 11 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 1,516 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — APPROVAL, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS. THE BOARD… — FOR was 74% 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.
