About this page

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 DAVE & BUSTER'S ENTERTAINMENT INC.’s 10-Q dated May 5, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

On the most widely held item on that ballot — Advisory approval of Executive Compensation — DAVE & BUSTER'S ENTERTAINMENT INC.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 95% 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).
