Shares on loan
At least one vote record in this filing reports more shares than any holding can be, so no share figure is published for VOYAGEUR MUTUAL FUNDS III. The rule is set out in the methodology, and counts of votes are unaffected. Shares lent out at the record date cannot be voted by the lender, which is why Form N-PX asks for the figure. More on lending and votes.
