Event Summary:
Shareholders become activists when they use their influence as owners and lean on the board to make certain changes. This practice, known as shareholder activism, has significantly increased and the strategies deployed by activists have continued to grow in recent years. Investors are continuously seeking to intervene into company management to progress their own agendas, which is commonly procuring board changes.
With shareholder activism potentially to intensify further in the coming years, companies need to continue developing strategies to prevent and respond to shareholders' concerns. Failure to successfully address dissatisfied shareholders' issues can result in reputational damage and costly legal battles.

They will provide an in-depth discussion of the recent trends and developments surrounding shareholder activism. Speakers will also offer best practices in developing and implementing strategies in dealing effectively with shareholder activism.

• How Should Businesses Respond?
