Each item below shows how the 464 asset managers that disclosed a DOLBY LABORATORIES INC. vote in their SEC Form N-PX filings actually voted. Share totals are the shares those managers' funds voted, summed across every fund they report. These are reported items, not a count of the ballot: fund filings describe one ballot item in different words. Two descriptions are shown as one item only on evidence — the same text (or one cut short of the other), the same director nominee, or a match to the same row of DOLBY LABORATORIES INC.’s own Form 8-K tally — never because they merely read alike. A description that could not be joined that way is listed on its own, so one ballot item can appear more than once.

Percentages above are of 95,615,000 shares outstanding, as reported by DOLBY LABORATORIES INC. on its Form 10-Q dated December 27, 2024 (see the filing on EDGAR). This is the count contemporaneous with the 2024-2025 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 DOLBY LABORATORIES INC.’s 10-Q dated December 27, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on November 7, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At DOLBY LABORATORIES INC.'s shareholder meeting held February 4, 2025, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 464 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 5,730 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 13 reported items; because filers word the same ballot item differently, that can be more than the number of items on the ballot. On the most widely held item on that ballot — An advisory vote to approve Named Executive Officer compensation. — DOLBY LABORATORIES INC.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 99.3% 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: DOLBY LABORATORIES INC.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 7, 2025.
