Don’t Let Your Company be Taken Over!
Shareholder Activism and Proxy Contests
Every company CFO, Board member, C-suite and Financial professional needs to know how to protect themselves.
In 2023, 23.4% of Russell 3000 companies disclosed shareholder activism as a risk in their 10-K reporting, up from 21.4% in 2022. While most activist demands are settled long before reaching a shareholder vote, many will result in expensive, time-consuming proxy fights that can determine the future of a company and its management team.
This panel of five speakers will provide insights into the steps, tactics and technical challenges created by proxy fights as told by corporate executives who have recently faced activist demands and top professional advisors in the sector. We'll look at how companies respond to demands from activists and the paperwork, legal advice and solicitation process associated with a proxy contest. We’ll also explore how proxy contests have changed under the new Universal Proxy rule and how technology transformed the way both companies and activists engage with shareholders.
Be prepared before your company comes under attack.
