When an activist investor arrives at your door, preparation can make the difference between controlled execution and chaos. This session brings together seasoned professionals with Investor Relations and external legal counsel backgrounds to provide advice on how to build a tactical playbook for both preparedness and the immediate response. Our experts will walk through two critical phases of activist engagement: First, we’ll explore essential preparedness steps that should be implemented before any activist letter arrives. Then, we’ll discuss the crucial first 48 hours after receiving an activist letter. Our speakers will provide suggestions on assembling your response team, managing internal and external communications, and avoiding common pitfalls that companies face during this critical window. In today’s dynamic corporate landscape, preparing for shareholder activism is essential.
