Shareholder opposition to a merger
 

Make yourself heard against offers and recommendations

Georgeson provides services to issuers who find themselves in a defensive situation, such as a boardroom battle. However, we also provide services to share and / or bond holders against offers / recommendations made by issuers with the intention of rallying support from other invested parties.

Our services to shareholders include:

  • Strategic advice on the form and content of ‘fight letters’ or similar documents
  • Ongoing shareholder identification (including hedge fund and arbitrage positions) to locate possible supporters
  • Soliciting institutional holders
  • Periodic reporting of solicitation results and the modelling of likely offer outcomes

This can be flanked by a passive information agent campaign helpline if required.  

Why Georgeson?

Our level of experience and expertise, coupled with our relationship with Computershare, the global registrar, means that we are in a unique position to advise and assist you in opposing mergers.  We pride ourselves on integrity, and you can be re-assured that our services are provided in close co-operation with our network of contacts among financial and legal advisors.
