Largest MKS INSTRUMENTS INC. shareholders voting in 2024-2025

Ranked separately for each type of Form N-PX report. An institutional manager can report shares that a fund it advises also reports, so the two tables can list the same shares and are never added together. Each is ranked by the shares voted on the item that the most managers of that type reported.

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. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

At MKS INSTRUMENTS INC.'s shareholder meeting held May 12, 2025, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 431 asset managers reported how they voted on 7 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 3,822 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — The approval, on an advisory basis, of executive compensation. — FOR was 94% 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. Source: MKS INSTRUMENTS INC.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2025.
