Not shown here: this season’s fund filings also report 1 item from the meeting of June 11, 2025, which belongs to the 2024-2025 season. A meeting outside this season’s July 1 to June 30 window is not counted in this page’s items or in its totals of asset managers and fund votes.
Ranked separately for each type of Form N-PX report. An institutional manager can report shares that a fund it advises also reports, so the two tables can list the same shares and are never added together. Each is ranked by the shares voted on the item that the most managers of that type reported, shown as a share of the 64,337,000 shares outstanding at the time of that meeting.

Percentages above are of 64,337,000 shares outstanding, as reported by WILLIAMS-SONOMA INC. on its Form 10-Q dated April 28, 2024 (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 WILLIAMS-SONOMA INC.’s 10-Q dated April 28, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At WILLIAMS-SONOMA INC.'s shareholder meeting held May 29, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 625 asset managers reported how they voted on 10 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 7,130 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — An advisory vote to approve executive compensation — WILLIAMS-SONOMA 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: WILLIAMS-SONOMA INC.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 31, 2024.
