Percentages above are of 60,424,421 shares outstanding, as reported by ESAB CORP. on its Form 10-Q dated March 29, 2024 (see the filing on EDGAR). This is the count contemporaneous with the 2023-2024 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 ESAB CORP.’s 10-Q dated March 29, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At ESAB CORP.'s shareholder meeting held May 9, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 346 asset managers reported how they voted on 4 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 2,203 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — To approve on an advisory basis the compensation of our named executive officers. — ESAB CORP.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 98% 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: ESAB CORP.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2024.
