Percentages above are of 200,368,974 shares outstanding, as reported by Cerus Corporation on its Form 10-Q dated April 16, 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 Cerus Corporation’s 10-Q dated April 16, 2026. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At Cerus Corporation's shareholder meeting held June 2, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 153 asset managers reported how they voted on 5 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 822 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — The approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company's named executive… — Cerus Corporation'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). Source: Cerus Corporation's Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 3, 2026.
