Percentages above are of 30,959,298 shares outstanding, as reported by ACUITY BRANDS INC. on its Form 10-Q dated 2025-01-03 (see the filing on EDGAR). This is the count contemporaneous with the 2024-2025 meeting, so the percentages are the ones that were true then, not ones restated against today’s share count.
Every figure above is derived from filings made with the US Securities and Exchange Commission: Form N-PX, in which registered investment companies and institutional managers disclose how they voted every proxy, and Form 8-K Item 5.07, in which the company reports its own meeting results. Shares outstanding are taken from ACUITY BRANDS INC.’s 10-Q dated 2025-01-03. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on 02 October 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At ACUITY BRANDS INC.'s shareholder meeting held 2025-01-22, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 516 asset managers reported how they voted on 13 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 6,706 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Advisory Vote To Approve Named Executive Officer 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.
