"This year shareholder activism continued at an elevated level with more companies thrown into a chaos that could have been avoided," said Kingsdale CEO and Founder, Wes Hall. "We're taking our best-in-class strategic learning and using it to define the industry and help leaders prepare. Others will tell you what happened, we'll tell you what it means, what comes next and what you should do about it. We think the future of your company is too important to leave to chance."
Kingsdale defined the most noteworthy developments of the 2014 Proxy Season as:
Hall said while the resource sector was most active when it came to proxy contests no free passes were issued by activist funds in 2014. Companies in all industries and of all sizes were targeted, be it in public or behind the scenes.
"With the increase in the number of activist funds -- especially in the US who will see many players elbowed out and pushed over the border in search of spoils -- our message to Canadian companies is get ready. Now."
