Each item below shows how the 236 asset managers that disclosed a MIDDLESEX WATER CO. 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 MIDDLESEX WATER CO.’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.

Ranked by the number of MIDDLESEX WATER CO. shares each manager voted on the most widely held ballot item of the 2023-2024 meeting, shown as a share of the 17,814,000 shares outstanding at the time of that meeting.
| # | Asset manager | % of shares outstanding |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | BlackRock | 16.44% |
| 2 | T. Rowe Price | 9.92% |
| 3 | Vanguard | 8.02% |

Positions disclosed to the SEC on Schedules 13D and 13G, Form 13F and the company’s own proxy statement (DEF 14A).
| Holder | % outstanding | Disclosure |
|---|---|---|
| BlackRock | 18.84% | 13F |
| Vanguard Group | 7.71% | 13F |
| State Street | 4.10% | 13F |
| Morgan Stanley | 2.82% | 13F |

| Geode Capital | 2.25% | 13F |
| Renaissance Technologies | 1.60% | 13F |
| Goldman Sachs | 1.38% | 13F |
| Northern Trust | 1.14% | 13F |
Percentages above are of 17,814,000 shares outstanding, as reported by MIDDLESEX WATER CO. on its Form 10-Q dated 2024-03-31 (see the filing on EDGAR). This is the count contemporaneous with the 2023-2024 meeting, so the percentages are the ones that were true then, not ones restated against today’s share count.
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. Shares outstanding are taken from MIDDLESEX WATER CO.’s 10-Q dated 2024-03-31. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on 02 October 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At MIDDLESEX WATER CO.'s shareholder meeting held 2024-05-21, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 236 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 1,451 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 10 reported items; because filers word the same ballot item differently, that can be more than the number of items on the ballot. MIDDLESEX WATER CO.'s own Form 8-K tally for this meeting is published below, but no row in it could be matched to the most widely held item, so this page states no certified outcome for that item. On that item — TO PROVIDE A NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION. — the reporting funds cast 71% of the shares they voted in favour (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). That is the aggregate of those managers' own N-PX disclosures, not the company's certified result, and the funds are a subset of all shareholders.
