CLE Credits

This program will cover the important influence that shareholder activist campaigns have on a restructuring process, both in- or out-of-court, when shareholder activists target a distressed company and the best practices for distressed companies facing such shareholder activism. Particularly, this program will discuss the traditional and recent approaches bankruptcy courts have taken when deciding whether to limit shareholders’ corporate governance rights, explore the various actions shareholder activists may take to preserve their investments, and the potential strategies debtors and distressed companies facing activist campaigns can employ to challenge or prevent such shareholder interference in a restructuring process.
