Percentages above are of 46,104,888 shares outstanding, as reported by BioLife Solutions, Inc. on its Form 10-Q dated June 30, 2024 (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 BioLife Solutions, Inc.’s 10-Q dated June 30, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on November 6, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At BioLife Solutions, Inc.'s shareholder meeting held August 20, 2025, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 261 asset managers reported how they voted on 9 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 2,512 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — TO APPROVE, ON A NON-BINDING, ADVISORY BASIS, THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS. — BioLife Solutions, Inc.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 95% 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: BioLife Solutions, Inc.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 21, 2025.
