Percentages above are of 19,230,000 shares outstanding, as reported by Koppers Holdings Inc. on its Form 10-Q dated March 31, 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 Koppers Holdings Inc.’s 10-Q dated March 31, 2026. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At Koppers Holdings Inc.'s shareholder meeting held May 7, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 250 asset managers reported how they voted on 11 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 3,044 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — PROPOSAL TO APPROVE AN ADVISORY RESOLUTION ON OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION — Koppers Holdings 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: Koppers Holdings Inc.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 8, 2026.
