When it comes to activist investors, the stakes are high, and you need to protect your company's interests. Activist campaigns are disruptive and proxy fights are costly and potentially damaging. Having a plan will help you control your outcomes, but thorough preparation is complex and made more challenging in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Count on a global strategic advisor and proxy solicitation partner like Georgeson, part of the Computershare family, to help you prepare so you can secure your company's ability to continue its value creation story into the future.

​Investor focus on ESG issues is increasing dramatically. Investors now expect you to make meaningful progress in managing and communicating your ESG risks and opportunities.

Georgeson's advisory services can make it easier to navigate.

Count on Computershare to expertly manage and simplify every stage of all your M&A and corporate events.
