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 First Busey Corporation’s 10-Q dated 2026-05-07. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on 04 October 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

At First Busey Corporation's shareholder meeting held 2026-05-20, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 261 asset managers reported how they voted on 16 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 3,478 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — TO APPROVE, IN A NON-BINDING, ADVISORY VOTE, THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS… — FOR was 98% 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. Source: First Busey Corporation's Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (filing date not recorded for this item).
