Largest NISOURCE 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, shown as a share of the 470,618,280 shares outstanding at the time of that meeting.

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. Shares outstanding are taken from NISOURCE INC.’s 10-Q dated March 31, 2025. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 25, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

At NISOURCE INC.'s shareholder meeting held May 12, 2025, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 732 asset managers reported how they voted on 15 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 11,991 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — TO APPROVE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION ON AN ADVISORY BASIS. — NISOURCE INC.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 97% 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: NISOURCE INC.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 13, 2025.
