Percentages above are of 46,589,011 shares outstanding, as reported by CHOICE HOTELS INTERNATIONAL INC. on its Form 10-Q dated March 31, 2025 (see the filing on EDGAR). This is the count contemporaneous with the 2024-2025 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 CHOICE HOTELS INTERNATIONAL INC.’s 10-Q dated March 31, 2025. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At CHOICE HOTELS INTERNATIONAL INC.'s shareholder meeting held May 15, 2025, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 377 asset managers reported how they voted on 15 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 5,035 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Advisory approval of the compensation of the Company's Named Executive Officers. — CHOICE HOTELS INTERNATIONAL INC.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 95% 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: CHOICE HOTELS INTERNATIONAL INC.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2025.
