About this page

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 1, 2025. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

At KOSMOS ENERGY LTD.'s shareholder meeting held June 5, 2025, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 233 asset managers reported how they voted on 5 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 1,296 separate fund positions. 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 95% 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 5, 2025.
