“Longer-term partners with a vested economic interest provide the most un-biased advice on transformational events such as capital raises, M&A execution and dispute resolution”
Services > Proxy Contest/Corporate Dispute Resolution
Boards, management teams and investors can find themselves in conflict over a range of issues including poor stock price performance, suggested poor governance practices, a sale proposal from a prospective acquirer, an attempt to acquire an acquisition target, or an attempt to raise capital.
These issues have shareholder value creation in common and emerge in different forms: in disagreement over a single resolution at an annual meeting, a full proxy contest for control of the board, voting on plans of arrangement, and hostile takeovers. They all require winning support from investors and motivating them to take action to demonstrate that support.
GEP acts as the strategic advisor that will help boards and concerned shareholders achieve their objective. GEP will manage the issues that require shareholder or unit-holder support. From proxy contests, mergers and acquisitions, to gaining shareholder approval for resolutions and plans of arrangement, GEP provides a proven integrated approach to managing the issue to a positive conclusion.
