Percentages above are of 41,863,273 shares outstanding, as reported by Compass Minerals International, Inc. on its Form 10-Q dated January 30, 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 Compass Minerals International, Inc.’s 10-Q dated January 30, 2026. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At Compass Minerals International, Inc.'s shareholder meeting held March 5, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 232 asset managers reported how they voted on 11 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 2,288 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers. — Compass Minerals International, Inc.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 84% 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: Compass Minerals International, Inc.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2026.
