Percentages above are of 167,946,063 shares outstanding, as reported by GRACO INC. on its Form 10-K dated December 29, 2023 (see the filing on EDGAR). 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 GRACO INC.’s 10-K dated December 29, 2023. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 25, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At GRACO INC.'s shareholder meeting held April 26, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 617 asset managers reported how they voted on 6 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 4,080 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation paid to our named executive officers as… — GRACO INC.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 90% 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: GRACO INC.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 26, 2024.
