Percentages above are of 475,472,486 shares outstanding, as reported by CLEVELAND-CLIFFS INC. on its Form 10-Q dated March 31, 2024 (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 CLEVELAND-CLIFFS INC.’s 10-Q dated March 31, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At CLEVELAND-CLIFFS INC.'s shareholder meeting held May 16, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 583 asset managers reported how they voted on 12 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 5,760 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Approval, on an advisory basis, of Cleveland- Cliffs Inc.'s named executive officers'… — FOR was 75% 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.
