Proxy Fights & Corporate Control

Georgeson specialises in complex solicitations such as friendly and hostile acquisitions, proxy battles and takeover defences. For over 70 years, Georgeson has been involved in more proxy contests than any other organisation and we draw from that wealth of experience to benefit every client.

We provide you with a tactical advantage during the complex solicitation process. Our solicitation strategy, tailored to meet your individual requirements includes:

• A detailed shareholder analysis
• Communicating to all shareholders to articulate the merits of your proposal and ensure they have all the relevant information to make an informed and measured decision
• Vote projections to help determine the outcome of the campaign
• Vote shepherding to ensure votes are lodged on time

Globally, Georgeson has won, on average, 71% of the proxy fights it has been involved in over the past nine years - the highest win rate in the industry.
