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 Equity Bancshares, Inc.’s 10-Q dated October 31, 2025. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

At Equity Bancshares, Inc.'s shareholder meeting held April 21, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 165 asset managers reported how they voted on 8 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 1,509 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Advisory vote to approve the compensation paid to the named executive officers of the Company. — Equity Bancshares, Inc.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 65% 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).
