Percentages above are of 35,611,000 shares outstanding, as reported by Novanta Inc. on its Form 10-Q dated April 3, 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 Novanta Inc.’s 10-Q dated April 3, 2026. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 25, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At Novanta Inc.'s shareholder meeting held May 28, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 405 asset managers reported how they voted on 11 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 4,858 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Approval, on an advisory (non- binding) basis, of the Company's executive compensation. — FOR was 98% 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), which is more than half. Whether the item was approved is for the filing to say; that statement has not been read for this item. Source: Novanta Inc.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 29, 2026.
