Not shown here: this season’s fund filings also report 1 item from the meeting of May 5, 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 56,557,000 shares outstanding at the time of that meeting.

Percentages above are of 56,557,000 shares outstanding, as reported by PAYCOM SOFTWARE INC. 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 PAYCOM SOFTWARE INC.’s 10-Q dated March 31, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At PAYCOM SOFTWARE INC.'s shareholder meeting held April 29, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 648 asset managers reported how they voted on 5 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 3,743 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Advisory approval of the compensation of the Company's named executive officers. — FOR was 54.1% 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.
