Not shown here: this season’s fund filings also report 2 items from the meeting of September 12, 2023, which belongs to the 2023-2024 season. A meeting outside this season’s July 1 to June 30 window is not counted in this page’s items or in its totals of asset managers and fund votes.
Ranked separately for each type of Form N-PX report. 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 615,000,000 shares outstanding at the time of that meeting.

Percentages above are of 615,000,000 shares outstanding, as reported by GEN DIGITAL INC. on its Form 10-Q dated June 28, 2024 (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 GEN DIGITAL INC.’s 10-Q dated June 28, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At GEN DIGITAL INC.'s shareholder meeting held September 10, 2024, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 614 asset managers reported how they voted on 13 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 9,498 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Advisory vote to approve executive compensation. — GEN DIGITAL INC.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 95% 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: GEN DIGITAL INC.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 13, 2024.
