Percentages above are of 206,524,508 shares outstanding, as reported by RING ENERGY INC. on its Form 10-Q dated May 7, 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 RING ENERGY INC.’s 10-Q dated May 7, 2025. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At RING ENERGY INC.'s shareholder meeting held May 22, 2025, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 124 asset managers reported how they voted on 10 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 1,195 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Advisory vote to approve named executive officer compensation. — RING ENERGY INC.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 79% 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: RING ENERGY INC.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 22, 2025.
