Percentages above are of 17,887,000 shares outstanding, as reported by MIDDLESEX WATER CO. on its Form 10-K dated December 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 MIDDLESEX WATER CO.’s 10-K dated December 31, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 13, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At MIDDLESEX WATER CO.'s shareholder meeting held May 20, 2025, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 262 asset managers reported how they voted on 5 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 1,522 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — To approve a non-binding advisory vote to approve named executive officer compensation. — MIDDLESEX WATER CO.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 86% 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).
