Largest Eli Lilly and Company shareholders voting in 2025-2026

An institutional manager can report shares that a fund it advises also reports, so the two tables can list the same shares and are never added together. Each is ranked by the shares voted on the item that the most managers of that type reported, shown as a share of the 941,741,406 shares outstanding at the time of that meeting.

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 Eli Lilly and Company’s 10-Q dated April 27, 2026. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

At Eli Lilly and Company's shareholder meeting held May 4, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 1,797 asset managers reported how they voted on 10 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 20,273 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation paid to the company's named executive… — Eli Lilly and Company's filing reports the proposal as approved, with 96% 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).
