Questions
How did large funds vote at the United Utilities Group Plc meeting?
143 Form N-PX filers reported votes at the meeting of 18 Jul 2025. On say-on-pay, 1 of 41 voted against management (2.4%). 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 United Utilities Group Plc 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.
