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 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.
