Each is ranked by the shares voted on the item that the most managers of that type reported, shown as a share of the 212,951,848 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 Gentex Corporation’s 10-Q dated April 24, 2026. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

At Gentex Corporation's shareholder meeting held May 21, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 530 asset managers reported how they voted on 12 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 6,213 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — To approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company's named executive officers. — FOR was 97% 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: Gentex Corporation's Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 26, 2026.
