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.

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 Ventas, Inc.’s 10-Q dated April 24, 2026. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

At Ventas, Inc.'s shareholder meeting held May 13, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 795 asset managers reported how they voted on 14 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 13,688 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of named executive officers of Ventas, Inc. — FOR was 92% 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.
