Shown as share counts, not percentages: no shares-outstanding figure has been matched to SPROUT SOCIAL INC. for the 2024-2025 season, so there is no denominator to divide by.
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 October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At SPROUT SOCIAL INC.'s shareholder meeting held May 22, 2025, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 241 asset managers reported how they voted on 5 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 1,202 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — TO CONDUCT AN ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS. — SPROUT SOCIAL INC.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 99% 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: SPROUT SOCIAL INC.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 27, 2025.
