Each item below shows how the 246 asset managers that disclosed a VIASAT INC. vote in their SEC Form N-PX filings actually voted. Share totals are the shares those managers' funds voted, summed across every fund they report. These are reported items, not a count of the ballot: fund filings describe one ballot item in different words. Two descriptions are shown as one item only on evidence — the same text (or one cut short of the other), the same director nominee, or a match to the same row of VIASAT INC.’s own Form 8-K tally — never because they merely read alike. A description that could not be joined that way is listed on its own, so one ballot item can appear more than once.

Institutional-manager reports, all 2 managers: 436,050 for.
Ranked separately for each type of Form N-PX report.

Each is ranked by the shares voted on the item that the most managers of that type reported, shown as a share of the 76,912,016 shares outstanding at the time of that meeting.

Percentages above are of 76,912,016 shares outstanding, as reported by VIASAT INC. on its Form 10-K dated March 31, 2023 (see the filing on EDGAR). This is the count contemporaneous with the 2023-2024 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 VIASAT INC.’s 10-K dated March 31, 2023. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 25, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At VIASAT INC.'s shareholder meeting held September 7, 2023, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 246 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 2,370 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 7 reported items; because filers word the same ballot item differently, that can be more than the number of items on the ballot. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Advisory Vote to Ratify Named Executive Officers' Compensation — FOR was 97% 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.
