At COMTECH TELECOMMUNICATIONS CORP.'s shareholder meeting held January 13, 2025, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 72 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 596 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 10 reported items; because filers word the same ballot item differently, that can be more than the number of items on the ballot. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. — COMTECH TELECOMMUNICATIONS CORP.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 79% 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).

Each item below shows how the 72 asset managers that disclosed a COMTECH TELECOMMUNICATIONS CORP. vote in their SEC Form N-PX filings actually voted. Share totals are the shares those managers' funds voted, summed across every fund they report. These are reported items, not a count of the ballot: fund filings describe one ballot item in different words. Two descriptions are shown as one item only on evidence — the same text (or one cut short of the other), the same director nominee, or a match to the same row of COMTECH TELECOMMUNICATIONS CORP.’s own Form 8-K tally — never because they merely read alike. A description that could not be joined that way is listed on its own, so one ballot item can appear more than once.

Percentages above are of 29,170,883 shares outstanding, as reported by COMTECH TELECOMMUNICATIONS CORP. on its Form 10-Q dated January 9, 2025 (see the filing on EDGAR). This is the count contemporaneous with the 2024-2025 meeting, not today’s. Each holding is as of its own filing, which may be dated before or after the meeting.

Shares outstanding are taken from COMTECH TELECOMMUNICATIONS CORP.’s 10-Q dated January 9, 2025.
