At UNIVERSAL ELECTRONICS INC.'s shareholder meeting held May 27, 2025, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 82 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 214 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 2 reported items; because filers word the same ballot item differently, that can be more than the number of items on the ballot. UNIVERSAL ELECTRONICS INC.'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 — Approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company's named executive officers. — the reporting funds and managers cast 83% of the shares they voted in favour (FOR divided by FOR plus AGAINST plus WITHHELD; abstained and unvoted shares are excluded because neither took a side). Fund and manager reports are combined in it and may count the same shares twice: it adds fund reports to institutional-manager reports, which can cover the same shares. It is not the company's certified result.

These tallies are UNIVERSAL ELECTRONICS INC.’s own, as disclosed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8-K, filed May 28, 2025 (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 82 asset managers that disclosed a UNIVERSAL ELECTRONICS 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 UNIVERSAL ELECTRONICS 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.
83% Fund and manager reports combined; may count the same shares twice · no official result
Fund voting reports and institutional-manager reports both cover this item. An institutional manager can report shares that a fund it advises also reports, so the two are shown separately below and never added together, and their sum is not shown (fund and manager reports combined may count the same shares twice). The figure above is FOR ÷ (FOR + AGAINST + WITHHELD) of the shares these managers voted; abstained and unvoted shares are in neither half, and these managers are a subset of all shareholders, not the meeting result.

Percentages above are of 13,169,997 shares outstanding, as reported by UNIVERSAL ELECTRONICS INC. on its Form 10-Q dated May 6, 2025 (see the filing on EDGAR). This is the count contemporaneous with the 2024-2025 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 UNIVERSAL ELECTRONICS INC.’s 10-Q dated May 6, 2025. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on November 8, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
