Percentages above are of 57,126,000 shares outstanding, as reported by Kirby Corporation on its Form 10-K dated February 17, 2025 (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 Kirby Corporation’s 10-K dated February 17, 2025. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At Kirby Corporation's shareholder meeting held April 29, 2025, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 452 asset managers reported how they voted on 5 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 2,676 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 Corporation's filing reports the proposal as approved, with 96% 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 Corporation's Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 1, 2025.
