1 Unvoted meetings were typically due to cases where Neuberger Berman determined voting would not be in clients’ best interests for reasons such as the presence of share-blocking requirements or meetings in which voting would entail additional costs. 2 COVID-19 restrictions limited our employees’ capacity to engage in volunteer activities during 2020 & 2021. 3 The Tokyo Office was not able to participate in volunteerism in 2021 due to Covid-19 restrictions.
