Percentages above are of 616,000,000 shares outstanding, as reported by Gen Digital Inc. on its Form 10-Q dated July 4, 2025 (see the filing on EDGAR). This is the count contemporaneous with the 2025-2026 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 July 4, 2025. 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 9, 2025, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 683 asset managers reported how they voted on 11 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 9,390 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 93% 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 12, 2025.
