Shown as share counts, not percentages: no shares-outstanding figure has been matched to FIRST FOUNDATION INC. for the 2023-2024 season, so there is no denominator to divide by.
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 FIRST FOUNDATION INC.'s shareholder meeting held 2024-05-28, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 178 asset managers reported how they voted on 13 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 2,342 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — TO APPROVE, BY NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE, THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY'S NAMED EXECUTIVE… — 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.
