599 Form N-PX filers reported votes at the meeting of 6 Feb 2024. On say-on-pay, 52 of 569 voted against management (9.1%). The family table lists each of the largest families item by item.
Is this the meeting result?

Why are director elections shown as counts only?
Director records name the nominee. This site does not publish pages or rows about individuals, so for director elections it keeps the number of nominees and the split of votes and discards the wording.
