About this page

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 Avadel Pharmaceuticals Plc’s 10-Q dated 2024-06-30. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on 04 October 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

At Avadel Pharmaceuticals Plc's shareholder meeting held 2024-07-30, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 134 asset managers reported how they voted on 9 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 358 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — To approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers… — FOR was 90% 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.
