At WAYSTAR HOLDING CORP.'s shareholder meeting held June 4, 2025, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 80 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 1,304 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 5 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 — Ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for… — WAYSTAR HOLDING CORP.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 99.9% support 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).

Each item below shows how the 80 asset managers that disclosed a WAYSTAR HOLDING CORP. 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 WAYSTAR HOLDING CORP.’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.
