The upcoming Risk Essentials webinar from CMS offers NEDs crucial insights into navigating shareholder activism, covering the spectrum from private demands to public disputes, and providing practical guidance on protecting board and company interests.
Shareholder activism can take many forms, from stories in the press over investors seeking company board changes, to court action.
Those situations often evolve over a period of weeks or months before they reach the press, and many activist demands are resolved quietly behind closed doors.
CMS' Risk Essentials webinar will explore what you need to know if a shareholder starts making demands of your company, whether listed or unlisted, and what you can and should do in these circumstances.
Speakers include:
-
Geraldine Ryan - Partner, CMS
-
Alasdair Steele - Partner, Head of Equity Capital Markets, CMS
