Lioness Consulting LLC’s Post

For professional investors only. We’re pleased to join a group of 39 investors representing a combined AuM of USD5.2tn in issuing a joint statement on shareholder rights. Read the joint statement here: https://lnkd.in/eMijMGN9 Upholding shareholder rights is crucial for maintaining transparency and accountability within corporations. It's worrisome to see potential barriers to filing proposals on sustainability issues, especially given their impact on investment portfolios. The SEC's role as the primary arbiter for shareholder proposals is vital for ensuring fair and transparent corporate governance. Let's keep pushing for accountability and sustainability in corporate decision-making. 💼📈 #ShareholderRights #ClimateInestment #ReturnsandResponsibilty #NordeaAssetManagement #MarketingCommunication

We are grateful to Sara Yerkey and Paul Ellenbogen from Management Practice LLC for contributing this thoughtful analysis of the SEC's new shareholder reports rule and its potential effect on the 15(c) process. This article expertly unpacks the complexities of benchmarking fund performance against a "broad-based" index, revealing how this significant shift might impact the annual contract renewal process. #fundgovernence #SaraYerkey #PaulEllenbogen #ManagementPracticeLLC

Regardless of whether a company is listed or unlisted, the same rule applies - good investor engagement is the key to a loyal investor base. As more companies are deciding to stay private for longer, shareholder bases in unlisted companies continue to grow and so do challenges around communication, lack of transparency and monitoring investor sentiment. Companies like PrimaryMarkets highlight the increasing appeal of private market trading. If you're an unlisted company, now is the time to hone your investor relations strategy.

As the 2024 proxy season moves into full swing, now is the time for boards and management to consider how to make the most of this annual investor engagement opportunity.

Here is another case where the shareholders of a huge corporate fossil fuels conglomerate (ExonMobile) have demanded corporate change to redirect corporate funds into sustainable energy projects instead of fossil fuels. The shareholders are banning together to force the corporate governance to act as a fiduciary agent for all shareholders and for shareholder rights. #CorporateChange #ShareholderRights #BetterwithSustainability #SupportCalPERS

Why Passive Investors Should Care About Due Diligence

🌐 Investor Relations Officers (IROs) might not be household names, but they’re essential to the success of any publicly traded company. These professionals are responsible for managing the flow of information between a company and its investors, helping to ensure that the market understands the company’s story and value proposition. Whether it’s through earnings calls, press releases, or meetings with analysts, IROs work tirelessly to maintain a positive relationship with the investment community. In a world where perception can be as important as reality, the role of an IRO can make all the difference. How is your company leveraging its IRO? #InvestorRelations #MarketPerception #CorporateCommunication #FinanceProfessionals

#Seanergy shareholders: our annual meeting is coming up and we need your vote on the WHITE proxy card. The Seanergy Board of Directors and management team are committed to delivering value for all Seanergy shareholders. Over the past few years, we have strategically evolved Seanergy into a leading pure-play, growth-oriented Capesize operator that is attractively positioned to capitalize on favorable trends in the Capesize market. As a result of our strategy, we are poised to continue delivering leading, sustainable, shareholder returns through the cycle. Unfortunately, we also believe that our progress and the value of your investment is at risk. George Economou – a shipowner and a competitor of Seanergy – has brought litigation and launched a proxy fight against Seanergy seeking to gain effective control over the Company’s Board and our corporate strategy. Economou brings a record of self-dealing, shareholder value destruction and poor corporate stewardship at the expense of other shareholders. If he were to be successful in his campaign at Seanergy, our Board believes he would apply the same self-serving approach to Seanergy’s business dealings and negatively impact the value of your investment. Our Board strongly recommends that shareholders reject Economou’s nominees, his proposals and his self-interested takeover attempt. Every vote counts. You can protect your Seanergy investment by voting on the WHITE proxy card “FOR” Seanergy’s director nominees and “AGAINST” Economou’s proposals.                            Learn more at www.voteseanergy.com
