Each item below shows how the 302 asset managers that disclosed a Vital Farms, 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 Vital Farms, 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.

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 44,497,012 shares outstanding at the time of that meeting.

Percentages above are of 44,497,012 shares outstanding, as reported by Vital Farms, Inc. on its Form 10-Q dated March 30, 2025 (see the filing on EDGAR). This is the count contemporaneous with the 2024-2025 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 Vital Farms, Inc.’s 10-Q dated March 30, 2025. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 25, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At Vital Farms, Inc.'s shareholder meeting held June 11, 2025, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 302 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 2,246 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 8 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 — To approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company's named executive officers as… — Vital Farms, Inc.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 94% 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: Vital Farms, Inc.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 17, 2025.
