Percentages above are of 351,482,100 shares outstanding, as reported by BAUSCH + LOMB CORP. on its Form 10-Q dated April 24, 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 BAUSCH + LOMB CORP.’s 10-Q dated April 24, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on November 8, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
