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 EMPIRE STATE REALTY TRUST INC.’s 10-Q dated 2025-03-31. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on 02 October 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

At EMPIRE STATE REALTY TRUST INC.'s shareholder meeting held 2025-05-15, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 265 asset managers reported how they voted on 12 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 2,811 separate fund positions.
