Shown as share counts, not percentages: no shares-outstanding figure has been matched to DENNY'S CORP. for the 2024-2025 season, so there is no denominator to divide by.
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. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At DENNY'S CORP.'s shareholder meeting held May 14, 2025, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 149 asset managers reported how they voted on 11 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 1,927 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — An advisory resolution to approve the executive compensation of the Company. — DENNY'S CORP.'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). Source: DENNY'S CORP.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 16, 2025.
