Each item below shows how the 257 asset managers that disclosed a KOSMOS ENERGY LTD. vote in their SEC Form N-PX filings actually voted. Share totals are the shares those managers' funds voted, summed across every fund they report. These are reported items, not a count of the ballot: fund filings describe one ballot item in different words. Two descriptions are shown as one item only on evidence — the same text (or one cut short of the other), the same director nominee, or a match to the same row of KOSMOS ENERGY LTD.’s own Form 8-K tally — never because they merely read alike. A description that could not be joined that way is listed on its own, so one ballot item can appear more than once.

Description as filed by funds: To provide a non-binding, advisory vote to approve the frequency of holding future non-binding votes on named executive officer compensation.
Fund voting reports and institutional-manager reports both cover this item.

The figure above is FOR ÷ (FOR + AGAINST + WITHHELD) of the shares these managers voted; abstained and unvoted shares are in neither half, and these managers are a subset of all shareholders, not the meeting result.

Each is ranked by the shares voted on the item that the most managers of that type reported, shown as a share of the 471,548,508 shares outstanding at the time of that meeting.

Percentages above are of 471,548,508 shares outstanding, as reported by KOSMOS ENERGY LTD. on its Form 10-Q dated May 2, 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 KOSMOS ENERGY LTD.’s 10-Q dated May 2, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At KOSMOS ENERGY LTD.'s shareholder meeting held June 6, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 257 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 2,624 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 7 reported items; because filers word the same ballot item differently, that can be more than the number of items on the ballot. On the most widely held item on that ballot — To provide a non-binding, advisory vote to approve named executive officer compensation. — KOSMOS ENERGY LTD.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 97% 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: KOSMOS ENERGY LTD.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 7, 2024.
