Percentages above are of 38,028,018 shares outstanding, as reported by Morningstar, Inc. 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 Morningstar, Inc.’s 10-Q dated April 24, 2026. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on November 7, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At Morningstar, Inc.'s shareholder meeting held May 7, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 435 asset managers reported how they voted on 12 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 5,708 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Advisory vote to approve executive compensation of the Company's named executive officers. — Morningstar, Inc.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 96% 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: Morningstar, Inc.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 8, 2026.
