Percentages above are of 52,154,000 shares outstanding, as reported by KORN FERRY on its Form 10-Q dated July 31, 2024 (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 KORN FERRY’s 10-Q dated July 31, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At KORN FERRY's shareholder meeting held September 25, 2024, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 345 asset managers reported how they voted on 13 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 5,292 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Advisory (non-binding) resolution to approve the Company's executive compensation. — FOR was 97% 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), which is more than half. Whether the item was approved is for the filing to say; that statement has not been read for this item. Source: KORN FERRY's Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 27, 2024.
