Percentages above are of 19,497,751 shares outstanding, as reported by KVH Industries, Inc. on its Form 10-Q dated May 1, 2026 (see the filing on EDGAR).

Shares outstanding are taken from KVH Industries, Inc.’s 10-Q dated May 1, 2026. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on November 8, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
