Questions
How did large funds vote at the Sonoco Products Company meeting?
603 Form N-PX filers reported votes at the meeting of 15 Apr 2026. On say-on-pay, 43 of 571 voted against management (7.5%). One proposal from security holders could be told apart in the filings. 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 Sonoco Products Company 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.
