Not shown here: this season’s fund filings also report 1 item from the meeting of April 2, 2025, which belongs to the 2024-2025 season. A meeting outside this season’s July 1 to June 30 window is not counted in this page’s items or in its totals of asset managers and fund votes.

An institutional manager can report shares that a fund it advises also reports, so the two tables can list the same shares and are never added together. Each is ranked by the shares voted on the item that the most managers of that type reported, shown as a share of the 195,114,398 shares outstanding at the time of that meeting.

Percentages above are of 195,114,398 shares outstanding, as reported by The Cooper Companies, Inc. on its Form 10-Q dated March 2, 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 The Cooper Companies, Inc.’s 10-Q dated March 2, 2026. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 25, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At The Cooper Companies, Inc.'s shareholder meeting held April 7, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 659 asset managers reported how they voted on 11 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 7,684 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. — The Cooper Companies, Inc.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 90% 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: The Cooper Companies, Inc.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 8, 2026.
