How asset managers voted at the FIRST BUSEY CORP. 2024-2025 meetings

Each item below shows how the 280 asset managers that disclosed a FIRST BUSEY CORP. vote in their SEC Form N-PX filings actually voted. Share totals are the shares those managers' funds voted, summed across every fund they report. These are reported items, not a count of the ballot: fund filings describe one ballot item in different words. Two descriptions are shown as one item only on evidence — the same text (or one cut short of the other), the same director nominee, or a match to the same row of FIRST BUSEY CORP.’s own Form 8-K tally — never because they merely read alike. A description that could not be joined that way is listed on its own, so one ballot item can appear more than once.

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

At FIRST BUSEY CORP.'s 2 shareholder meetings in the 2024-2025 proxy season (held December 20, 2024 and May 29, 2025), 280 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 4,920 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 23 reported items; because filers word the same ballot item differently, that can be more than the number of items on the ballot. On the most widely held item of the season, voted at the meeting held May 29, 2025 — To approve, in a non-binding, advisory vote, the compensation of our named executive officers… — FIRST BUSEY CORP.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 97% 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: FIRST BUSEY CORP.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 2, 2025.
