SURFACE ONCOLOGY INC. 2023-2024 Proxy Voting Records

At SURFACE ONCOLOGY INC.'s shareholder meeting held September 7, 2023, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 48 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 99 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 3 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 THAT WILL OR MAY BE PAID TO… — SURFACE ONCOLOGY INC.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 72% 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). Source: SURFACE ONCOLOGY INC.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 8, 2023.

How asset managers voted at the SURFACE ONCOLOGY INC. 2023-2024 meeting

Each item below shows how the 48 asset managers that disclosed a SURFACE ONCOLOGY 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 SURFACE ONCOLOGY 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.

Shares outstanding are taken from SURFACE ONCOLOGY INC.’s 10-Q dated July 31, 2023. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on November 8, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
