In this episode of our shareholder activism podcast series, we look at activism in the context of M&A. We discuss how shareholders can:
- encourage M&A, by pushing companies to pursue a transaction;
- influence M&A, for example by agitating for a higher price from the bidder on a takeover offer; or
- threaten M&A, by seeking to block a transaction.
We also discuss what parties can do to prepare for or ward off a transaction being challenged by a shareholder or group of shareholders.
Speakers Laura Ackroyd, Antonia Kirkby and Robert Moore
