What to do if an activist targets you

Corporate Secretary's sister publication IR Magazine has produced a three-part video series about how to respond to shareholder activism

In the first two parts of this video series, Josh Black, editor-in-chief of Activist Insight, discusses how activists performed in 2016, their outlook for 2017 and where they were busiest during last year.

In the final installment, Black outlines his top tips for companies when an activist shows up on their shareholder register – including when an independent lead director should be appointed, what the board should know about the activist’s strategy and how shareholder communications should change.
