Percentages above are of 36,835,400 shares outstanding, as reported by Ziff Davis, Inc. on its Form 10-Q dated 2026-05-04 (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 Ziff Davis, Inc.’s 10-Q dated 2026-05-04. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on 04 October 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At Ziff Davis, Inc.'s shareholder meeting held 2026-05-06, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 320 asset managers reported how they voted on 10 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 3,419 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — To provide an advisory vote on the compensation of Ziff Davis' named executive officers. — FOR was 88% 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), 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.
