Each item below shows how the 110 asset managers that disclosed a CANOO INC. 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 CANOO INC.’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.

Percentages above are of 726,304,570 shares outstanding, as reported by CANOO INC. on its Form 10-Q dated November 7, 2023 (see the filing on EDGAR). This is the count contemporaneous with the 2023-2024 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 CANOO INC.’s 10-Q dated November 7, 2023. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At CANOO INC.'s 3 shareholder meetings in the 2023-2024 proxy season (held October 5, 2023, December 29, 2023 and February 29, 2024), 110 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 425 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 12 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 of the season, voted at the meeting held December 29, 2023 — To approve, by an advisory vote, the compensation of the Company's named executive officers, as… — CANOO INC.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 92% 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).
