On Wednesday 1 November 2023, Georgeson is partnering with the Non-Executive Directors’ Association (‘NEDA’) and law firm CMS to host a lively discussion on shareholder activist tactics. No listed company is immune from an activist shareholder building a stake in order to effect change - often manifested as a direct and public attack on both senior management and NEDs. This discussion will explore the warning signs, how to respond and what to expect. Hear from experts from NEDA, CMS, as well as the leading NED Peter Williams, and Georgeson - the #1ranked advisor in Europe for shareholder activism as independently validated by Bloomberg.
