Public M&A EP36: Shareholder influence on M&A

In this episode we talk about the influence we have seen shareholders have on recent transactions. Areas we discuss include shareholders: • pushing for M&A • influencing M&A, including through the use of irrevocable undertakings and stub equity • looking to block deals; and • being directly targeted for support by both targets and bidders. We also discuss the key takeaways for companies when dealing with shareholders. Speakers Antonia Kirkby and Greg Mulley.
