Percentages above are of 85,227,623 shares outstanding, as reported by Bloomin' Brands, Inc. on its Form 10-K dated February 20, 2026 (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 Bloomin' Brands, Inc.’s 10-K dated February 20, 2026. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At Bloomin' Brands, Inc.'s shareholder meeting held April 22, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 237 asset managers reported how they voted on 14 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 3,866 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Advisory Vote to Ratify Named Executive Officers' Compensation — Bloomin' Brands, Inc.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 96% 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: Bloomin' Brands, Inc.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 24, 2026.
