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.
