Each item below shows how the 155 asset managers that disclosed a Paragon 28, Inc. 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 Paragon 28, Inc.’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.

Percentages above are of 84,152,663 shares outstanding, as reported by Paragon 28, Inc. on its Form 10-K/A dated April 15, 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 Paragon 28, Inc.’s 10-K/A dated April 15, 2025. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At Paragon 28, Inc.'s shareholder meeting held April 17, 2025, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 155 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 507 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 4 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 — To approve, by advisory (non-binding) vote, the compensation that may be paid or become payable… — Paragon 28, Inc.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 71% 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: Paragon 28, Inc.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2025.
