Percentages above are of 104,258,253 shares outstanding, as reported by VAALCO Energy, Inc. on its Form 10-Q dated May 6, 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 VAALCO Energy, Inc.’s 10-Q dated May 6, 2026. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At VAALCO Energy, Inc.'s shareholder meeting held June 4, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 192 asset managers reported how they voted on 8 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 1,614 separate fund positions.

Whether the item was approved is for the filing to say; that statement has not been read for this item.
