Shareholder Engagement Strategies for the 2012 Proxy Season

Winston & Strawn presented an eLunch titled “Shareholder Engagement Strategies for the 2012 Proxy Season” on Wednesday, October 19, 2011, at 12:00 p.m. (Central).
 
This practical eLunch briefing was the second in a series designed to help Corporate Counsel, Investor Relations and other company advisors navigate the changing governance landscape for the 2012 Proxy Season – with a specific focus on shareholder engagement issues, and the latest tripwires for publicly-traded companies, including financial institutions. This timely update featured a discussion of the following hot button issues:

• Shareholder engagement hot topics and trends
• Key strategies for each phase of the proxy season
• Proxy solicitation 101 – legal overview and practical tips
• Conducting an effective shareholder outreach program
• Review of common scenarios and case studies

As we did in the first session, "Preparing for the 2012 Proxy Season: Governance and Executive Compensation Strategies," offered specific action items for you to consider as the proxy season approaches.

Rhonda Brauer, Senior Managing Director-Corporate Governance at the proxy solicitation firm Georgeson, and attorney Oscar David from Winston & Strawn, led an interactive webinar focused on what you need to know now about the latest developments in shareholder engagement.
