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 FRANKLIN RESOURCES 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 FRANKLIN RESOURCES INC.'s shareholder meeting held February 6, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 120 asset managers reported how they voted on 13 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 6,932 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — TO APPROVE AN AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE COMPANY'S 2002 UNIVERSAL STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN. — FRANKLIN RESOURCES INC.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 86% 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).
