Overview

Item 5.07 is filed within four business days of a shareholder meeting with the final vote count for every proposal: director elections, say on pay, auditor ratification and shareholder proposals.

The feed returns each Item 5.07 filing with its text, the raw material for vote outcome datasets.

What you get

Built for developers who would rather not parse EDGAR.

Only Item 5.07

The feed returns 8-K and 8-K/A filings that report Item 5.07, newest first, classified from the EDGAR header of every filing.

Item text included

Each result carries the text of the item itself, cut out of the filing by the Section Extractor, ready to read or send to an LLM.

Every other item too

The items array lists everything else in the same filing, such as 9.01 exhibits or a 7.01 Reg FD release.

Filter by company and date

Narrow by cik, startDate and endDate. Combine with the real-time stream to react the day it is filed.

Are vote counts structured?

They are returned as the item text. Each proposal's for, against, abstain and broker non-vote counts are in that text.
