Percentages above are of 44,400,000 shares outstanding, as reported by Brinker International, Inc. on its Form 10-Q dated September 25, 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 Brinker International, Inc.’s 10-Q dated September 25, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At Brinker International, Inc.'s shareholder meeting held November 20, 2025, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 419 asset managers reported how they voted on 12 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 5,190 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Advisory vote to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation — FOR was 96% 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. Source: Brinker International, Inc.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 24, 2025.
