Percentages above are of 17,274,375 shares outstanding, as reported by Mercantile Bank Corporation on its Form 10-Q dated April 24, 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 Mercantile Bank Corporation’s 10-Q dated April 24, 2026.

At Mercantile Bank Corporation's shareholder meeting held May 21, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 237 asset managers reported how they voted on 14 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 3,344 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — An advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers disclosed in this… — 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.
