How asset managers voted at the RIBBON COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2023-2024 meetings

Each item below shows how the 148 asset managers that disclosed a RIBBON COMMUNICATIONS 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 RIBBON COMMUNICATIONS 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.

Description as filed by funds: TO APPROVE, ON A NON-BINDING, ADVISORY BASIS, THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON THE COMPENSATION OF RIBBON COMMUNICATIONS' NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

Fund voting reports and institutional-manager reports both cover this item. An institutional manager can report shares that a fund it advises also reports, so the two are shown separately below and never added together, and their sum is not shown (fund and manager reports combined may count the same shares twice). The figure above is FOR ÷ (FOR + AGAINST + WITHHELD) of the shares these managers voted; abstained and unvoted shares are in neither half, and these managers are a subset of all shareholders, not the meeting result.

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 RIBBON COMMUNICATIONS INC.’s 10-Q dated July 24, 2023. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on November 1, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

At RIBBON COMMUNICATIONS INC.'s 2 shareholder meetings in the 2023-2024 proxy season (held August 3, 2023 and June 4, 2024), 148 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 3,707 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 22 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 of the season, voted at the meeting held August 3, 2023 — To approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of Ribbon Communications' named… — RIBBON COMMUNICATIONS INC.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 99% 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: RIBBON COMMUNICATIONS INC.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 4, 2023.
