“Shareholder Forum” programs have evolved since
1999 as effective processes for defining, analyzing, and resolving issues
relevant to investors’ capital allocation and voting decisions.
The benefit of an independently conducted Forum is in providing both
investor and corporate decision-makers
with the kind of access to information and free exchange of views that might
be sought at a traditional management-run shareholders meeting or analyst
conference, but with the non-partisan moderation and timely attention needed to
effectively examine alternatives for long-term wealth creation.
