Largest ROCKY BRANDS INC. shareholders voting in 2023-2024

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 7,423,181 shares outstanding at the time of that 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 ROCKY BRANDS INC.’s 10-Q dated April 30, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 25, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

At ROCKY BRANDS INC.'s shareholder meeting held June 5, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 127 asset managers reported how they voted on 8 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 1,300 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Approve, on an advisory non-binding basis, the compensation of our named executive officers; — 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.
