Description
This panel will cover the main activism trends and how targets and their boards can prepare and respond to the changing and at times conflicting investor demands. These include: the “swarming” phenomenon, where a number of activist shareholders pursue the same target with the same or differing agendas; M&A related activism including opposition to transactions, calling for break-ups or divestitures; demands for board changes; leveraging ESG.
