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 KinderCare Learning Companies, Inc.’s 10-Q dated May 11, 2026. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At KinderCare Learning Companies, Inc.'s shareholder meeting held June 4, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 109 asset managers reported how they voted on 5 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 593 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — APPROVAL, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY'S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS — KinderCare Learning Companies, Inc.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 95% 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).
