Percentages above are of 158,656,318 shares outstanding, as reported by Denali Therapeutics Inc. on its Form 10-Q dated March 31, 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 Denali Therapeutics Inc.’s 10-Q dated March 31, 2026. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 25, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At Denali Therapeutics Inc.'s shareholder meeting held June 3, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 278 asset managers reported how they voted on 5 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 1,656 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — To approve, on an advisory basis, executive compensation. — Denali Therapeutics Inc.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 94% 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).
