Questions
What does the category DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION cover?
Form N-PX lists DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION as one of its fixed vote categories and leaves it to each filer to decide which votes belong in it. In practice: Reporting and policies on workforce and board diversity, pay equity, civil rights audits.
Why can the same proposal appear in different categories?
Each filer picks the category or categories for every vote it reports, and filers do not always agree. A vote can also carry more than one category, in which case it is counted in each.
Is this the result of any meeting?
No. The figures count how Form N-PX filers voted the shares they held. They do not show the outcome of a meeting.
