Shareholders are important stakeholders for every company; however, recent events have shown the risks and legal liabilities a company faces when dealing with them. Recent regulatory and legislative developments, such as new SEC rules permitting electronic proxy distribution and the New York Stock Exchange's action to eliminate broker non-votes, add complexity to these matters. An expert panel will discuss a range of legal issues relating to conducting the annual meeting, proxy disclosure and solicitation issues, the legal response to possible shareholder activism, and the role of proxy service provider Institutional Shareholder Services in your company's relationship with shareholders.
