How asset managers voted at the Synovus Financial Corp. 2025-2026 meeting

Each item below shows how the 446 asset managers that disclosed a Synovus Financial Corp. 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 Synovus Financial Corp.’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 merger-related compensation payments that will or may be paid to Synovus' named executive officers in connection with the merger.

About this page

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 04 October 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

At Synovus Financial Corp.'s shareholder meeting held 2025-11-06, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 446 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 1,741 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 5 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 merger-related compensation payments that… — the proposal passed with 51.3% 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).
