This is a description of Hermes EOS' historic voting recommendations where we opposed management on one or more resolutions on behalf of our clients. We publish our voting disclosure one quarter in arrears so that we are transparently accountable but our dialogue with companies around voting issues is not compromised. Company meetings where we have recommended voting in line with management on all resolutions are currently not displayed.
