Description as filed by funds: Approval, on an advisory (non- binding) basis, the frequency of future shareholder votes on the Company's executive compensation.
Also reported under other wordings, matched to the same row of NOVANTA INC.’s official tally and shown with their own fund figures; their managers are not in the figures or the table on this card: “Advisory Vote on Say on Pay Frequency” (8 managers, Fund and manager reports combined; may count the same shares twice; no share total shown).
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 35,964,000 shares outstanding, as reported by NOVANTA INC. on its Form 10-Q dated March 28, 2025 (see the filing on EDGAR). This is the count contemporaneous with the 2024-2025 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 NOVANTA INC.’s 10-Q dated March 28, 2025. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At NOVANTA INC.'s shareholder meeting held May 29, 2025, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 360 asset managers reported how they voted on 12 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 5,036 separate fund positions. NOVANTA INC.'s own Form 8-K tally for this meeting is published below, but no row in it could be matched to the most widely held item, so this page states no certified outcome for that item. On that item — Approval, on an advisory (non- binding) basis, the frequency of future shareholder votes on the… — the reporting funds and managers cast 94% of the shares they voted in favour (FOR divided by FOR plus AGAINST plus WITHHELD; abstained and unvoted shares are excluded because neither took a side). Fund and manager reports are combined in it and may count the same shares twice: it adds fund reports to institutional-manager reports, which can cover the same shares. It is not the company's certified result.
