Each item below shows how the 162 asset managers that disclosed a SURMODICS 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 SURMODICS 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.

SURMODICS INC.’s own tally for this item (“Proposal 4: Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation .”): 9,588,433 for, 650,245 against, per its Form 8-K filed 2024-02-12 (Item 5.07). FOR was more than half of the votes cast. Whether the item passed is for the filing to say; its statement has not been read for this item.
The 161 asset managers below cast 99.9% of the shares they voted on this item FOR. Fund share totals are not shown for this item: fund-reported shares overlap across filings (an adviser and the funds it manages can each report the same shares), and here their sum exceeds the total votes cast at the meeting.

Shown as share counts, not percentages: no shares-outstanding figure has been matched to SURMODICS INC. for the 2023-2024 season, so there is no denominator to divide by.
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. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on 02 October 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At SURMODICS INC.'s shareholder meeting held 2024-02-08, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 162 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 946 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 6 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 — Approve in a non-binding advisory vote, the Company's executive compensation. — FOR was 94% 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. Source: SURMODICS INC.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on 2024-02-12.
