Percentages above are of 670,712,403 shares outstanding, as reported by Hecla Mining Company on its Form 10-Q dated May 1, 2026 (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 Hecla Mining Company’s 10-Q dated May 1, 2026. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At Hecla Mining Company's shareholder meeting held May 21, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 486 asset managers reported how they voted on 5 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 2,803 separate fund positions.
