At Provident Financial Services, Inc.'s shareholder meeting held May 21, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 327 asset managers reported how they voted on 6 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 2,304 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — The approval (non-binding) of executive compensation. — FOR was 97% 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.
