NorthStar Asset Management, Inc. uses shareholder engagement and activism initiatives to create long-term social change. Part of this process might include filing shareholder proposals which appear on company proxy ballots during their Annual General Meeting. The Securities and Exchange Commission plays an important role in approving which shareholder proposals are included on company ballots.   We’ve been monitoring the recent backsliding of company commitments to DEI and increasing attacks on the shareholder rights process related to proposals on climate and social change. This year, the SEC blocked 68% of shareholder resolutions from appearing on corporate ballots. These efforts support company pullbacks on sustainability and diversity initiatives amid growing conservative pressure.   NorthStar is a proud member of the Shareholder Rights Group, whose director responded to questions about the challenges in framing resolutions that are specific but do not micromanage. See the article below to learn more about the trends and challenges facing the shareholder rights process.   #ShareholderRights #ShareholderActivism #CorporateGovernance #SocialImpact #Sustainability #DiversityAndInclusion #DEI #ClimateAction #SECRegulation #ResponsibleInvesting Sanford Lewis  

Let's focus on strategies to address and manage an activist investor in your stock this week. The first and most important thing you need to understand is: What are their intentions? Research their past engagements and typical strategies. Do they typically seek strategic changes? Maybe it's operational shifts? Governance reforms? Understanding and anticipating their intentions allows an IR team to prepare a well-informed and strategic response, aligning your company's narrative with broader investor expectations. Demonstrating an understanding of the activist's perspective and proactively addressing potential concerns can help facilitate productive dialog. Tomorrow we'll dig into the impact of transparent and proactive communications.

The market is seeing more examples of multiple activist investors taking opposing positions when pushing companies for change, which can turn into three-way battles if the company has its own strategy in mind. The stakes get upped further if a proxy battle for board control ensues — all of which can leave financial advisors wondering who to believe and what actions to take.
