Wherever you look, shareholder activism is on the rise. As a recent study by Diligent uncovered, 2023 saw shareholder activism reach a four-year global high, with almost 1,000 companies subjected to activist demands publicly. With this trend seeming set to continue – nearly a quarter of Russell 3000 companies disclosed the potential for activism in their 10-K reporting – executives must understand the precise threats they’re likely to encounter.
The activist had acquired a substantial stake in the company and was demanding the company triple the dividend payout and elect 2 new directors. To complicate matters, more than 45% of the company’s outstanding shares was in the hands of foreign shareholders. It was projected that the activist could win because these shares were likely to vote against management and with the activist.
