Financial shareholder activism is controversial. Some see shareholder activists as a source of wealth creation and a vital check on publicly traded businesses’ excesses or bad C-suite management, while others see them as excessively aggressively pushing for change for short-term gain. But regardless of your role activist, corporate board member, investment banker or lawyer, or PR advisor, this unique, real-world seminar will help you grasp how activist shareholders choose their targets and how firms prepare for and respond to activist campaigns. Shareholder Activism and Corporate Governance will objectively illuminate a company’s governance structure, strategy and management approaches, and activist appeal. We will explore value destruction and activist-attractive corporate governance indicators. We’ll examine activists’ campaign steps and find regions that unlock or destroy value.
