Percentages above are of 112,631,669 shares outstanding, as reported by Braze, Inc. on its Form 10-Q dated May 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 Braze, Inc.’s 10-Q dated May 20, 2026. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At Braze, Inc.'s shareholder meeting held June 30, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 271 asset managers reported how they voted on 5 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 1,461 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers. — Braze, Inc.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 74% 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: Braze, Inc.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 2, 2026.
