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 Vital Farms, Inc.’s 10-Q dated 2026-03-29. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on 02 October 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
