At BUCKLE INC.'s shareholder meeting held June 2, 2025, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 90 asset managers reported how they voted on 14 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 4,097 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Election of Directors: Angie J. Klein — FOR was 93% of the votes cast (FOR divided by FOR plus WITHHELD, because this ballot offered only for and withhold; 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.
