Description
Shareholder activism is everywhere and is challenging the securities regulators with fundamental arguments in favour of shareholder power. Is it the new face of capitalism? Or is it a fight between shareholders and boards with respect to more dividends and less bonuses and other types of fringe benefits? Or even is it the fall of strong boards? Shall we call it the fight of boards against the ‘dark side’ of capitalism?
