Percentages above are of 125,113,916 shares outstanding, as reported by SONOS INC. on its Form 10-K dated September 30, 2023 (see the filing on EDGAR). This is the count contemporaneous with the 2023-2024 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 SONOS INC.’s 10-K dated September 30, 2023. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At SONOS INC.'s shareholder meeting held March 11, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 303 asset managers reported how they voted on 4 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 1,276 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Advisory approval of the named executive officer compensation (the say-on-pay vote) — SONOS INC.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 96% 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: SONOS INC.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2024.
