| The significance of a sound corporate governance policy is unprecedented in today's environment of shareholder activism. In particular, institutions are becoming increasingly active, aggressive and influential shareholders. Until recently, most institutions were content to remain on the sidelines during annual meeting season, often deferring their vote to management. However, these institutional investors today are now becoming increasingly concerned with the corporate structure and practices of their investments. Moreover, many institutions have established their own proxy guidelines and committees, effectively taking the matter out of the hands of the portfolio manager.
InvestorCom understands that senior executives today require comprehensive information on a broad range of issues in order to make the most informed and influential decisions. Through years of experience, our team has developed a keen understanding of the critical issues that influence this area the most. Our extensive expertise and past success spans a broad range of governance situations including management proposals, board issues, compensation matters, shareholder rights and auditing concerns. Furthermore, through our combined stock-surveillance, corporate governance and proxy solicitation capabilities, as well as our numerous investor relations contacts, InvestorCom is well-equipped to fully assess your company's overall corporate governance practices.
