Questions

How did large funds vote at the Merck KGaA meeting?

169 Form N-PX filers reported votes at the meeting of 24 Apr 2026. On say-on-pay, 0 of 43 voted against management (0.0%). The family table lists each of the largest families item by item.

Is this the meeting result?

No. These are the votes of funds and managers that file Form N-PX, counted by filer and by the shares they reported. The certified result, which includes every shareholder, is reported by Merck KGaA on Form 8-K.

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.
