Shareholder Activism in Small Listed Companies

Date: Wednesday 22 January 2020

Shareholder activism in the UK during 2018 set records for the number of campaigns launched and for the success of these initiatives. This session looked over the lessons of the 2019 AGM season and forecast what we can expect to see for small listed companies in 2020.

At this event, we looked over the impact of shareholder activism specifically in small listed companies and how boards can and should respond.

We covered regulatory changes that have given power to activists including:

• Stricter investors’ voting policies
• Changes to regulatory and advisory frameworks such as the QCA guidelines.

This session will help you to:

• Understand the impact of recent shareholder activism
• Proactively develop steps your board can take to avoid activist attention
• Shape a response to shareholder activism at your company
