Each is ranked by the shares voted on the item that the most managers of that type reported, shown as a share of the 22,475,329 shares outstanding at the time of that meeting.

Percentages above are of 22,475,329 shares outstanding, as reported by Digimarc Corporation on its Form 10-Q dated August 7, 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 Digimarc Corporation’s 10-Q dated August 7, 2026. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At Digimarc Corporation's shareholder meeting held April 30, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 119 asset managers reported how they voted on 12 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 1,282 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — TO APPROVE, BY NON-BINDING VOTE, THE COMPENSATION PAID TO OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS. — FOR was 90% 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), which is more than half. Whether the item was approved is for the filing to say; that statement has not been read for this item.
