The landscape of shareholder activism has changed dramatically in the wake of the Universal Proxy Card (UPC) regime. Activists are deploying more agile and unconventional strategies, often leveraging stealth and multi-phase campaigns that challenge traditional defensive approaches. Meanwhile, issuers are increasingly using stock surveillance tools in more strategic ways to detect early warning signs and prepare for activist engagement proactively. This panel will explore how activism is evolving and how issuers can adapt their surveillance and defense playbooks to stay ahead.
Discussion topics will include:
- The rise of new activist tactics
- Proactive defense through stock surveillance
- Settlement dynamics in the UPC era
- Best practices for IR and legal teams
We invite you to join us for networking, cocktails, and hors d’oeuvres following the panel discussion.
