Percentages above are of 56,753,855 shares outstanding, as reported by Knife River Corporation on its Form 10-Q dated April 30, 2026 (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 Knife River Corporation’s 10-Q dated April 30, 2026. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 25, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At Knife River Corporation's shareholder meeting held May 20, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 454 asset managers reported how they voted on 4 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 2,026 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Advisory Vote to Approve the Compensation Paid to the Company's Named Executive Officers. — Knife River 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: Knife River Corporation's Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 21, 2026.
