EQ

 

Do you know the difference between proxy solicitors and advisors, why inside votes are often the most difficult to get, where solicitors get their information and what issuers can do to help anticipate proxy challenges?

“Having a proxy solicitor on board shows you are serious about corporate governance and knowing your shareholder base. They are valuable members of an issuer’s team.” — Ben Backberg, Associate Corporate Secretary, General Mills, Inc.
