At GRAHAM HOLDINGS CO.'s shareholder meeting held May 7, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 77 asset managers reported how they voted on 3 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 854 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Election of Directors: Christopher C. Davis — FOR was 64% of the votes cast (FOR divided by FOR plus WITHHELD, because this ballot offered only for and withhold; 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.

Shares outstanding are taken from GRAHAM HOLDINGS CO.’s 10-Q dated June 30, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on November 8, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
