In the latest episode in our UK shareholder activism series, we talk about the influence that shareholders have on recent M&A 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.
