Largest Cerence Inc. shareholders voting in 2025-2026

Ranked separately for each type of Form N-PX report. An institutional manager can report shares that a fund it advises also reports, so the two tables can list the same shares and are never added together. Each is ranked by the shares voted on the item that the most managers of that type reported, shown as a share of the 45,016,000 shares outstanding at the time of that meeting.

About this page

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 Cerence Inc.’s 10-Q dated December 31, 2025. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

At Cerence Inc.'s shareholder meeting held February 12, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 248 asset managers reported how they voted on 8 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 1,604 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Approval, on a non-binding, advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company's named… — FOR was 77% 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: Cerence Inc.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 18, 2026.
