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 58,132,000 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 F5 INC.’s 10-Q dated December 31, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

At F5 INC.'s shareholder meeting held March 13, 2025, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 637 asset managers reported how they voted on 14 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 10,794 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers. — FOR was 91% 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. Source: F5 INC.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2025.
