Percentages above are of 415,200,000 shares outstanding, as reported by NEWELL BRANDS INC. on its Form 10-Q dated April 22, 2024 (see the filing on EDGAR). This is the count contemporaneous with the 2023-2024 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 NEWELL BRANDS INC.’s 10-Q dated April 22, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on November 1, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At NEWELL BRANDS INC.'s shareholder meeting held May 9, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 434 asset managers reported how they voted on 12 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 4,147 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Advisory resolution to approve named executive officer compensation. — NEWELL BRANDS INC.'s filing reports the proposal as not approved, with 43% 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: NEWELL BRANDS INC.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 10, 2024.
