Percentages above are of 31,878,966 shares outstanding, as reported by Lincoln Educational Services Corporation on its Form 10-K dated March 2, 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 Lincoln Educational Services Corporation’s 10-K dated March 2, 2026. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At Lincoln Educational Services Corporation's shareholder meeting held May 7, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 205 asset managers reported how they voted on 12 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 2,123 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Approval, on a non-binding, advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers… — Lincoln Educational Services Corporation'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: Lincoln Educational Services Corporation's Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 11, 2026.
