An institutional manager can report shares that a fund it advises also reports, so the two tables can list the same shares and are never added together. Each is ranked by the shares voted on the item that the most managers of that type reported, shown as a share of the 106,400,000 shares outstanding at the time of that meeting.

Percentages above are of 106,400,000 shares outstanding, as reported by J. M. SMUCKER CO. on its Form 10-Q dated July 31, 2024 (see the filing on EDGAR). This is the count contemporaneous with the 2024-2025 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 J. M. SMUCKER CO.’s 10-Q dated July 31, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At J. M. SMUCKER CO.'s shareholder meeting held August 14, 2024, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 830 asset managers reported how they voted on 12 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 7,830 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Advisory approval of the Company's executive compensation. — J. M. SMUCKER CO.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 94% 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: J. M. SMUCKER CO.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 15, 2024.
