Percentages above are of 210,112,415 shares outstanding, as reported by COLUMBIA BANKING SYSTEM 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 COLUMBIA BANKING SYSTEM INC.’s 10-Q dated March 31, 2025.

At COLUMBIA BANKING SYSTEM INC.'s shareholder meeting held May 15, 2025, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 451 asset managers reported how they voted on 13 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 6,432 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — To approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of Columbia Banking System, Inc.'s named… — FOR was 98% 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.
