How asset managers voted at the EAGLE BULK SHIPPING INC. 2023-2024 meeting

Each item below shows how the 143 asset managers that disclosed a EAGLE BULK SHIPPING 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 EAGLE BULK SHIPPING 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.

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 EAGLE BULK SHIPPING INC.’s 10-K dated March 1, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

At EAGLE BULK SHIPPING INC.'s shareholder meeting held April 5, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 143 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 750 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 7 reported items; because filers word the same ballot item differently, that can be more than the number of items on the ballot. EAGLE BULK SHIPPING INC.'s own Form 8-K tally for this meeting is published below, but no row in it could be matched to the most widely held item, so this page states no certified outcome for that item. On that item — The Advisory Compensation Proposal. To approve, by advisory (non-binding) vote, certain… — the reporting funds and managers cast 99.2% of the shares they voted in favour (FOR divided by FOR plus AGAINST plus WITHHELD; abstained and unvoted shares are excluded because neither took a side). Fund and manager reports are combined in it and may count the same shares twice: it adds fund reports to institutional-manager reports, which can cover the same shares. It is not the company's certified result.
