Shareholder Activism & Proxy Fights
During a shareholder activism campaign or proxy fight, the future of the targeted company is ultimately determined by how persuasively each side makes its appeal to investors — so it is critical to have an effective communications strategy in place.
August – whose team includes investor relations professionals and former investment bankers and attorneys – works closely with executive and finance teams, boards, proxy advisors, and legal counsel to develop impactful communications strategies that help shape the views of important investors. With decades of collective experience and a deep understanding of the proxy contest process, the August team quickly gets up to speed, helps its clients craft a compelling narrative, and determines the most effective means for delivering key messages to shareholders.
August also offers activism preparedness support – helping ensure that its clients have plans and messaging in place so that they can respond quickly and effectively in the event of an unexpected activist overture.
