Percentages above are of 488,773,713 shares outstanding, as reported by Southwest Airlines Co. on its Form 10-Q dated April 22, 2026 (see the filing on EDGAR). This is the count contemporaneous with the 2025-2026 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 Southwest Airlines Co.’s 10-Q dated April 22, 2026. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At Southwest Airlines Co.'s shareholder meeting held May 7, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 789 asset managers reported how they voted on 13 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 10,126 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY'S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS. — FOR was 96% 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.
