Each is ranked by the shares voted on the item that the most managers of that type reported, shown as a share of the 58,300,000 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 SPIRE INC.’s 10-Q dated December 31, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

At SPIRE INC.'s shareholder meeting held January 30, 2025, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 355 asset managers reported how they voted on 6 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 2,584 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Advisory nonbinding approval of resolution to approve compensation of our named executive… — FOR was 98% 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. Source: SPIRE INC.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 31, 2025.
