At GOLDEN ENTERTAINMENT INC.'s shareholder meeting held 2024-05-23, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 199 asset managers reported how they voted on 8 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 2,055 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — To approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers… — FOR was 86% 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.
