Home › Asset managers › Lincoln Financial › 2023-2024 › Against the board
Two kinds of vote are listed: a board-sponsored proposal Lincoln Financial voted AGAINST or withheld on, and a shareholder proposal it voted FOR, with the board’s recommendation on it where the filings show one. A FOR vote on a proposal the board supported, or took no position on, is listed and labelled, but it is not a vote against the board. One row is one proposal at one meeting; “funds” is how many of the manager’s funds or accounts voted that way.
