Stockholders approved the Paramount–Rithm merger proposal, while rejecting advisory executive compensation tied to the deal.

The key outcome is that Paramount Group stockholders approved the merger proposal covering the company merger and related transactions under the Agreement and Plan of Merger with Rithm Capital Corp.. The vote was strongly in favor, with 168,772,459 votes for, 7,475,636 against and 19,238 abstentions, out of 176,267,333 shares represented, which the company notes is approximately 79% of shares entitled to vote.

In contrast, stockholders did not approve the non-binding advisory proposal on compensation that may be paid or become payable to named executive officers in connection with the mergers, which received 57,842,864 votes for and 118,422,040 against. The adjournment proposal also passed, with 166,065,353 votes for and 10,200,006 against, but was not used because the merger proposal already had sufficient support. Overall, the results confirm stockholder approval for the mergers while distinguishing that approval from views on related executive pay.
