Late last year, John and Cleary’s J.T. Ho recorded an “Understanding Activism with John & J.T.” podcast with Jun Frank, who serves as Global Head of Compensation & Governance Advisory for ISS-Corporate. They spoke with Jun about trends in shareholder proposals and activism.

Topics covered during this 20-minute podcast include:

1. Understanding shareholder proposal trends
2. Impact of Anti-ESG campaigns
3. Withdrawal rates and engagement
4. Corporate disclosure and governance improvements and impact on support of proposals
5. Proxy advisor and investor approaches to evaluating contested elections
6. Emerging activism trends and proxy advisor and investor responses

John and J.T. hope to share perspectives on key issues and developments in shareholder activism from representatives of both public companies and activists on this podcast series. They’re continuing to record new podcasts, and I think you’ll find them filled with practical and engaging insights from true experts – so stay tuned!
