Each item below shows how the 151 asset managers that disclosed a BLACK STONE MINERALS L P vote in their SEC Form N-PX filings actually voted. Share totals are the shares those managers' funds voted, summed across every fund they report. These are reported items, not a count of the ballot: fund filings describe one ballot item in different words. Two descriptions are shown as one item only on evidence — the same text (or one cut short of the other), the same director nominee, or a match to the same row of BLACK STONE MINERALS L P’s own Form 8-K tally — never because they merely read alike. A description that could not be joined that way is listed on its own, so one ballot item can appear more than once.

Shown as share counts, not percentages: no shares-outstanding figure has been matched to BLACK STONE MINERALS L P for the 2023-2024 season, so there is no denominator to divide by.
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. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At BLACK STONE MINERALS L P's shareholder meeting held June 13, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 151 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 503 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 14 reported items; because filers word the same ballot item differently, that can be more than the number of items on the ballot. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Approval on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation of the executive officers of… — BLACK STONE MINERALS L P's filing reports the proposal as approved, with 98% 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: BLACK STONE MINERALS L P's Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 18, 2024.
