Percentages above are of 126,129,075 shares outstanding, as reported by YEXT INC. on its Form 10-Q dated April 30, 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 YEXT INC.’s 10-Q dated April 30, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At YEXT INC.'s shareholder meeting held June 12, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 190 asset managers reported how they voted on 5 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 1,052 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of Yext, Inc.'s named executive officers. — YEXT INC.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 93% 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: YEXT INC.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 17, 2024.
