Each item below shows how the 982 asset managers that disclosed a NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORP. 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 NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORP.’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.

49.6% Plurality election · of votes cast
Description as filed by funds: Election of directors to Norfolk Southern's Board of Directors for a term of one year, to serve until their respective successors are elected and qualified. You may submit votes "FOR" up to thirteen nominees in total. You are permitted to vote for less than thirteen nominees. Importantly, if you mark more than thirteen "FOR" boxes with respect to the election of directors on this BLUE proxy card, all of your votes for the election of directors will be deemed invalid. If you mark fewer than thirteen "FOR" boxes with respect to the election of directors, this proxy card, when duly executed, will be voted only "FOR" those nominees you have so marked: ANCORA NOMINEES: Allison Landry
NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORP.’s own tally for this item (“Elect Director: Allison Landry”): 87,180,961 for, 88,422,646 withheld, per its Form 8-K filed May 15, 2024 (Item 5.07). This is a for/withhold election, which is decided by plurality: a nominee does not need a majority of the votes cast to be elected, so no passed or failed outcome is stated here.

Description as filed by funds: Election of directors to Norfolk Southern's Board of Directors for a term of one year, to serve until their respective successors are elected and qualified. You may submit votes "FOR" up to thirteen nominees in total. You are permitted to vote for less than thirteen nominees. Importantly, if you mark more than thirteen "FOR" boxes with respect to the election of directors on this BLUE proxy card, all of your votes for the election of directors will be deemed invalid. If you mark fewer than thirteen "FOR" boxes with respect to the election of directors, this proxy card, when duly executed, will be voted only "FOR" those nominees you have so marked: COMPANY NOMINEES OPPOSED BY ANCORA: John Thompson

This is a for/withhold election, which is decided by plurality: a nominee does not need a majority of the votes cast to be elected, so no passed or failed outcome is stated here.
Reported outcome: Not elected, in the filing’s own words: “Set forth below are the matters voted upon at the Annual Meeting, which are more fully described in the Corporation's Proxy Statement in connection with the Annual Meeting, and the final voting results tabulated by the Corporation's independent Inspector of Election, First Coast Results, Inc.

Not shown here: this season’s fund filings also report 1 item from the meeting of May 8, 2025, which belongs to the 2024-2025 season. A meeting outside this season’s July 1 to June 30 window is not counted in this page’s items or in its totals of asset managers and fund votes.
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 225,914,028 shares outstanding at the time of that meeting.

Percentages above are of 225,914,028 shares outstanding, as reported by NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORP. on its Form 10-Q dated March 31, 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 NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORP.’s 10-Q dated March 31, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORP.'s shareholder meeting held May 9, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 982 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 22,279 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 25 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 — Approval of the advisory resolution on executive compensation, as disclosed in the Norfolk… — NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORP.'s filing reports the proposal as not approved, with 28% 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).
