The growing list of public companies proposing to move from Delaware to another jurisdiction of incorporation indicates that “DExit” remains a live topic among boards and management teams. In our latest “Timely Takes” podcast,  FTI Consulting’s Garrett Muzikowski & Andrea Hearon joined John to discuss a variety of legal and business issues that companies considering migrating out of Delaware should consider.  Topics addressed in this 25-minute podcast include:

– Pros and Cons of Reincorporating Outside of Delaware
– What Boards Often Misunderstand About the DExit Decision
– Reasons for DExit Proposals and Outcomes of Stockholder Votes
– Emerging Patterns in Proxy Advisor and Institutional Investor Responses
– How Boards Should Approach Texas’s Optional Provisions
– Importance of a Communications Strategy
– Will DExit Become Mainstream or Remain a Niche Response?

As always, if you have insights on a securities law, capital markets or corporate governance issue, trend or development that you’d like to share in a podcast, we’d love to hear from you. You can email me and/or John at mervine@ccrcorp.com or john@thecorporatecounsel.net.
