How asset managers voted at the Peoples Bancorp of North Carolina, Inc. 2025-2026 meeting

Each item below shows how the 102 asset managers that disclosed a Peoples Bancorp of North Carolina, 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 Peoples Bancorp of North Carolina, 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.

Largest Peoples Bancorp of North Carolina, Inc. shareholders voting in 2025-2026

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 5,461,490 shares outstanding at the time of that meeting.

Percentages above are of 5,461,490 shares outstanding, as reported by Peoples Bancorp of North Carolina, Inc. on its Form 10-Q dated April 30, 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.

About this page

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 Peoples Bancorp of North Carolina, Inc.’s 10-Q dated April 30, 2026. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

At Peoples Bancorp of North Carolina, Inc.'s shareholder meeting held May 7, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 102 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 1,242 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 14 reported items; because filers word the same ballot item differently, that can be more than the number of items on the ballot. Peoples Bancorp of North Carolina, 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 — Approve the compensation of the Company's named executive officers (advisory vote). — the reporting funds and managers cast 96% 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.
