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. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on November 7, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

At SMART GLOBAL HOLDINGS INC.'s shareholder meeting held February 9, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 215 asset managers reported how they voted on 5 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 1,458 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company's named executive… — SMART GLOBAL HOLDINGS INC.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 98% 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: SMART GLOBAL HOLDINGS INC.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 13, 2024.
