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. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on 02 October 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At ESSA Bancorp, Inc.'s shareholder meeting held 2025-04-15, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 108 asset managers reported how they voted on 3 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 409 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — a proposal to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, specified compensation that may… — FOR was 57% 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.
