How asset managers voted at the HECLA MINING CO. 2023-2024 meeting

Each item below shows how the 261 asset managers that disclosed a HECLA MINING CO. vote in their SEC Form N-PX filings actually voted. Share totals are the shares those managers' funds voted, summed across every fund they report. These are reported items, not a count of the ballot: fund filings describe one ballot item in different words. Two descriptions are shown as one item only on evidence — the same text (or one cut short of the other), the same director nominee, or a match to the same row of HECLA MINING CO.’s own Form 8-K tally — never because they merely read alike. A description that could not be joined that way is listed on its own, so one ballot item can appear more than once.

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 HECLA MINING CO.’s 10-K dated February 9, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

At HECLA MINING CO.'s shareholder meeting held May 17, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 261 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 1,352 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 9 reported items; because filers word the same ballot item differently, that can be more than the number of items on the ballot. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Advisory resolution to approve named executive officer compensation. — HECLA MINING CO.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 69% 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: HECLA MINING CO.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 21, 2024.
