Questions
What does the category OTHER SOCIAL ISSUES cover?
Form N-PX lists OTHER SOCIAL ISSUES as one of its fixed vote categories and leaves it to each filer to decide which votes belong in it. In practice: Political spending and lobbying disclosure, charitable giving, product and public-policy matters not covered elsewhere.
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.
Provenance: SEC EDGAR, Form N-PX and N-PX/A filings; category chosen by each filer. Not verified by the SEC. Filings read through 23 Sep 2026.
