Percentages above are of 76,021,577 shares outstanding, as reported by Kennametal Inc. on its Form 10-K dated July 31, 2025 (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 Kennametal Inc.’s 10-K dated July 31, 2025. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At Kennametal Inc.'s shareholder meeting held October 28, 2025, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 316 asset managers reported how they voted on 10 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 3,118 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Non-Binding (Advisory) Vote to Approve the Compensation Paid to the Company's Named Executive… — Kennametal Inc.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 99% 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: Kennametal Inc.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 30, 2025.
