How asset managers voted at the SONOCO PRODUCTS CO. 2023-2024 meeting

Each item below shows how the 468 asset managers that disclosed a SONOCO PRODUCTS 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 SONOCO PRODUCTS 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.

1. To approve, on an advisory (non- binding) basis, the compensation of the Company's named executive officers.

At SONOCO PRODUCTS CO.'s shareholder meeting held 2024-04-17, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 468 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 6,803 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 23 reported items; because filers word the same ballot item differently, that can be more than the number of items on the ballot. SONOCO PRODUCTS 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 approve, on an advisory (non- binding) basis, the compensation of the Company's named… — the reporting funds cast 99.9% 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.
