These tallies are Eastern Company’s own, as disclosed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8-K, filed 2026-05-08 (Item 5.07, “Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders”). They cover every share voted at the meeting, not just the funds that file Form N-PX.

Each item below shows how the 104 asset managers that disclosed a Eastern Company 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 Company’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 by the number of Eastern Company shares each manager voted on the most widely held ballot item of the 2025-2026 meeting, shown as a share of the 6,030,914 shares outstanding at the time of that meeting.
| # | Asset manager | % of shares outstanding |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | BARINGTON COMPANIES MANAGEMENT, LLC | 10.61% |
| 2 | Gabelli | 10.48% |
| 3 | Vanguard | 4.88% |

| 9 | WELLS FARGO CLEARING SERVICES, LLC | 1.96% |
| 10 | Dimensional | 1.85% |
Positions disclosed to the SEC on Schedules 13D and 13G, Form 13F and the company’s own proxy statement (DEF 14A).
| Holder | % outstanding | Disclosure |
|---|---|---|
| James A. Mitarotonda | 11.39% | 13D |
| Dimensional Fund Advisors | 6.40% | 13F |
| BlackRock | 5.11% | 13F |
| Vanguard Group | 4.91% | 13F |

| Northern Trust | 0.75% | 13F |
| Goldman Sachs | 0.35% | 13F |
Percentages above are of 6,030,914 shares outstanding, as reported by Eastern Company on its Form 10-Q dated 2026-04-04 (see the filing on EDGAR). This is the count contemporaneous with the 2025-2026 meeting, so the percentages are the ones that were true then, not ones restated against today’s share count.
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. Shares outstanding are taken from Eastern Company’s 10-Q dated 2026-04-04. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on 04 October 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At Eastern Company's shareholder meeting held 2026-05-06, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 104 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 914 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 8 reported items; because filers word the same ballot item differently, that can be more than the number of items on the ballot. Eastern Company's own Form 8-K tally for this meeting is published below, but no row in it could be matched to the most widely held item, so this page states no certified outcome for that item. On that item — Approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers. — the reporting funds cast 98% of the shares they voted in favour (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). That is the aggregate of those managers' own N-PX disclosures, not the company's certified result, and the funds are a subset of all shareholders.
Eastern Company proxy season coverage: 2025-2026 (this page).
