Corporate Governance, M&A and Activism Solutions
Flag Potential Risks Ahead of Time
What is the current governance situation at your company? What are the primary events and threats and how will they develop into the coming year? Who owns the shares and what are their preferences? The Corporate Governance, M&A and Activism Solutions team analyzes current governance factors at your company and provides data-driven insights that help you to tackle these questions.
By proactively assessing how proxy advisors and key investors will assess the current governance of the company, our analysis flags potential risks ahead of time. This enables companies to mitigate the chances of investor dissent in advance of governance-related events like Annual General Meetings (AGMs).
Our priority is to ensure security and peace of mind for our clients, whether it is before the AGM or during unsettling takeover or activist situations. A combination of proprietary data based on investors’ historic vote behavior, our understanding of factors impacting investors' decisions, and analysis of shareholder sentiment via direct engagement provides early insights into how a company’s investor base is likely to react to key governance events.
