Percentages above are of 58,522,000 shares outstanding, as reported by KIRBY CORP. on its Form 10-K dated February 16, 2024 (see the filing on EDGAR). This is the count contemporaneous with the 2023-2024 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 KIRBY CORP.’s 10-K dated February 16, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At KIRBY CORP.'s shareholder meeting held April 26, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 385 asset managers reported how they voted on 5 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 2,282 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Advisory vote on the approval of the compensation of Kirby's named executive officers. — KIRBY CORP.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 72% 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: KIRBY CORP.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 26, 2024.
