At Westlake Corporation's shareholder meeting held May 8, 2025, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 97 asset managers reported how they voted on 5 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 1,899 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Election of Class III Directors: Albert Y. Chao — FOR was 91% of the votes cast (FOR divided by FOR plus WITHHELD, because this ballot offered only for and withhold; 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.

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 Westlake Corporation’s 10-Q dated April 25, 2025. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on November 8, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
