Key Features and Benefits

Ensure Regulatory Compliance

Reach Your Target Audience

Our Proxy Talk service allows both sides involved in special situations to present their case to our 1,300+ global institutional investor clients.

Ensure Regulatory Compliance

Present Your Case

Participating stakeholders deliver their narrative directly to institutional investors on a live webinar with Q&A.

Ensure Regulatory Compliance

Give Context to Contested Situations

Enable interested parties to better understand the core issues and arguments driving proxy contests and M&A situations, helping them make informed vote decisions.

Representatives from the activist firm and the targeted company present their respective cases separately in a proxy contest. In an M&A transaction, the potential acquirer and acquisition target representatives separately convey their narrative.

Event Format

The event is organized and hosted by Glass Lewis, and each party has one hour to present on a live webinar followed by Q&A.

Note that both parties are never on the same Proxy Talk and both parties do not need to sign-up for a Proxy Talk for one to occur.

Event Promotion

Glass Lewis promotes the Proxy Talk to its institutional clients via email, and on its social media channels and website. Presenting parties are encouraged to promote the Proxy Talk to their own interested stakeholders too.
