At MCCORMICK & COMPANY, INCORPORATED's shareholder meeting held April 1, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 93 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 278 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 14 reported items; because filers word the same ballot item differently, that can be more than the number of items on the ballot. On the most widely held item on that ballot — APPROVAL, ON A NON-BINDING ADVISORY BASIS, OF NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION. — MCCORMICK & COMPANY, INCORPORATED's filing reports the proposal as approved, with 96% support 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).

Each item below shows how the 93 asset managers that disclosed a MCCORMICK & COMPANY, INCORPORATED vote in their SEC Form N-PX filings actually voted. Share totals are the shares those managers' funds voted, summed across every fund they report. These are reported items, not a count of the ballot: fund filings describe one ballot item in different words. Two descriptions are shown as one item only on evidence — the same text (or one cut short of the other), the same director nominee, or a match to the same row of MCCORMICK & COMPANY, INCORPORATED’s own Form 8-K tally — never because they merely read alike. A description that could not be joined that way is listed on its own, so one ballot item can appear more than once.
