Percentages above are of 71,109,514 shares outstanding, as reported by Ovid Therapeutics Inc. on its Form 10-Q dated May 9, 2025 (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 Ovid Therapeutics Inc.’s 10-Q dated May 9, 2025. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At Ovid Therapeutics Inc.'s 3 shareholder meetings in the 2025-2026 proxy season (held July 9, 2025, December 11, 2025 and June 10, 2026), 117 asset managers reported how they voted on 11 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 574 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item of the season, voted at the meeting held July 9, 2025 — ADVISORY APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION PAID TO OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS. — Ovid Therapeutics Inc.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 98% 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).
