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.

At Cleveland-Cliffs Inc.'s shareholder meeting held May 14, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 488 asset managers reported how they voted on 10 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 3,816 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 84% 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.
