Why Choose Georgeson

Today more than ever, amassing the votes needed to pursue your corporate strategies is a constant challenge. Shareholders are distracted by many differing demands for their attention. In fact, less than 30% of shareholders vote in response to initial proxy distributions. With the increasing influence of activist elements, high profile individuals, multiple levels of share ownership, and ever-changing regulations, proxy solicitation is becoming more complex.

For over half a century, Georgeson has specialized in complex solicitations such as hostile and friendly acquisitions, proxy contests and takeover defenses. In 2008, Georgeson was the No. 1 proxy solicitor for M&A transactions worldwide*.

In this ever-changing environment, Georgeson is a powerful strategic partner.
