At EMPIRE STATE REALTY TRUST INC.'s shareholder meeting held May 9, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 252 asset managers reported how they voted on 13 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 3,175 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — TO APPROVE, ON A NON-BINDING, ADVISORY BASIS, THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS. — FOR was 96% 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.
