This 90-minute webinar provided an overview of the federal securities laws and rules applicable to shareholder activism defense situations and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) disclosure requirements specific to proxy statements, proxy cards, fight letters, press releases, investor presentations, website and social media postings, and other materials prepared in connection with proxy contests and other contested solicitations. Other topics included best practices for determining whether a shareholder communication is soliciting material required to be filed with the SEC; preparing the proxy statement’s background/chronology of the solicitation; navigating the SEC review process for contested proxy statements and other solicitation materials; avoiding SEC comments on proxy statements, fight letters, and other solicitation materials; and preparing “bedbug”/“poison pen” letters to the SEC on the activist investor’s Schedule 13D, proxy statements, fight letters, and other solicitation materials.
