Each item below shows how the 170 asset managers that disclosed a NIQ GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE PLC vote in their SEC Form N-PX filings actually voted. Share totals are the shares those managers' funds voted, summed across every fund they report. These are reported items, not a count of the ballot: fund filings describe one ballot item in different words. Two descriptions are shown as one item only on evidence — the same text (or one cut short of the other), the same director nominee, or a match to the same row of NIQ GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE PLC’s own Form 8-K tally — never because they merely read alike. A description that could not be joined that way is listed on its own, so one ballot item can appear more than once.

Fund voting reports and institutional-manager reports both cover this item. An institutional manager can report shares that a fund it advises also reports, so the two are shown separately below and never added together, and their sum is not shown (fund and manager reports combined may count the same shares twice). The figure above is FOR ÷ (FOR + AGAINST + WITHHELD) of the shares these managers voted; abstained and unvoted shares are in neither half, and these managers are a subset of all shareholders, not the meeting result.

Percentages above are of 295,136,342 shares outstanding, as reported by NIQ GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE PLC on its Form 10-Q dated May 11, 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 NIQ GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE PLC’s 10-Q dated May 11, 2026. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At NIQ GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE PLC's shareholder meeting held May 21, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 170 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 1,902 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 10 reported items; because filers word the same ballot item differently, that can be more than the number of items on the ballot. On the most widely held item on that ballot — To approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company's named executive officers — NIQ GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE PLC's filing reports the proposal as approved, with 99% 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: NIQ GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE PLC's Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 26, 2026.
