Investors did not hold back in 2011. Thirty percent more companies than last year received a big “no” vote of 25% or more, and incurred their 1st strike. Are institutional investors less tolerant, proxy advisers more demanding, or are company boards deliberately choosing a more courageous path over alternatives?

Find out at this year’s Forum.

The Forum will review the outcomes from the 2 strikes law so far, and how both corporations and institutional investors responded to it. In addition, we have invited some institutional investors to indicate what they like to see in terms of engagement, and directors from large and small listed companies to describe the effort and process they undertook to engage, with various degrees of success.

The Forum is on the afternoon of Monday 5 March.

Sponsored by Guerdon Associates with proxy adviser CGI Glass Lewis, it will be hosted at Arthur Allens Robinson’s Sydney premises.

If you are an institutional investor, company director, in executive management or a regulator you should receive an invitation in late January (sorry, no media permitted at this event). The Chatham House Rule applies.

Call us if you do not receive this invitation, or want to reserve a place.
