ADVANCED SERIES TRUST reported 187,702 vote records for the year to 30 June 2026. It marked 6.9% of its votes as cast against management (11,699 of 170,150), close to the median fund registrant, which was 6.2%.

Weighted by the number of shares voted, the against-management share is 7.7%. The two figures differ when the votes against management fall on larger or smaller holdings than the rest.

On pay and on shareholder proposals: it voted for 82.2% of the section 14A say-on-pay items it reported (the median fund registrant: 91.6%) and it voted for 28.6% of the proposals put forward by security holders (the median fund registrant: 27.5%).

By category, votes against management were most frequent in SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS AND DEFENSES (32.9% of 1,345), SECTION 14A SAY-ON-PAY VOTES (18.9% of 8,427) and OTHER (17.3% of 127).

It reported 466.2 million shares out on loan at record dates, 3.58% of the shares it held or had lent across the meetings it reported. Shares on loan are not voted.

Across every category it voted for 28.6% of security-holder proposals. Filers choose the category for each vote, so the same proposal can sit in different categories in different filings.

Is this the result of the meetings?

No. Form N-PX shows how this filer voted the shares it held. It does not show how other shareholders voted or whether a proposal was approved. Companies report certified results separately, on Form 8-K.
