At EASTERN CO.'s shareholder meeting held April 25, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 59 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 501 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 9 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 cast a nonbinding advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers. — FOR was 98% 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.

Each item below shows how the 59 asset managers that disclosed a EASTERN 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 EASTERN 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.

Ranked separately for each type of Form N-PX report.

Each is ranked by the shares voted on the item that the most managers of that type reported, shown as a share of the 6,228,432 shares outstanding at the time of that meeting.

Percentages above are of 6,228,432 shares outstanding, as reported by EASTERN CO. on its Form 10-Q dated June 29, 2024 (see the filing on EDGAR). This is the count contemporaneous with the 2023-2024 meeting, not today’s. Each holding is as of its own filing, which may be dated before or after the meeting.
Every figure above is derived from filings made with the US Securities and Exchange Commission: Form N-PX, in which registered funds disclose how they voted every proxy and institutional managers disclose their votes on executive pay (say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and golden parachutes), and Form 8-K Item 5.07, in which the company reports its own meeting results. Shares outstanding are taken from EASTERN CO.’s 10-Q dated June 29, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on November 8, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
