At PEOPLES BANCORP OF NORTH CAROLINA INC.'s shareholder meeting held May 1, 2025, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 89 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 1,639 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 15 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 — To approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation paid to the Company's named… — 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.

How asset managers voted at the PEOPLES BANCORP OF NORTH CAROLINA INC. 2024-2025 meeting

Each item below shows how the 89 asset managers that disclosed a PEOPLES BANCORP OF NORTH CAROLINA INC. 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 PEOPLES BANCORP OF NORTH CAROLINA INC.’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.
