In the latest episode of our shareholder activism podcast series, we talk about activism in the context of M&A. We discuss how shareholders may:
- 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 if a transaction is challenged by a shareholder or group of shareholders.
To listen to the full conversation, please visit our Shareholder Activism podcast page.
Further information on shareholder activism, and the previous episodes in our activism podcast series, can be found on the Shareholder activism page on our website.
