Percentages above are of 367,307,083 shares outstanding, as reported by EVERSOURCE ENERGY on its Form 10-Q dated March 31, 2025 (see the filing on EDGAR). This is the count contemporaneous with the 2024-2025 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 EVERSOURCE ENERGY’s 10-Q dated March 31, 2025. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 25, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At EVERSOURCE ENERGY's shareholder meeting held May 1, 2025, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 816 asset managers reported how they voted on 13 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 9,766 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Consider an advisory proposal approving the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. — EVERSOURCE ENERGY's filing reports the proposal as approved, with 57% 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: EVERSOURCE ENERGY's Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 1, 2025.
