Previously, we reviewed what transpired in 2010 for activist investors, and proclaimed it something of a success. The prospects for 2011 have a bit more uncertainty, in a number of ways:
- Which pending activist situations, such as Pershing Square's investment at J.C. Penney, will work out well?
- Which activist investors bear watching in 2011?
- How will the proxy access litigation end?
- Will the new say-on-pay votes matter?
- Will the SEC do anything useful with the proxy plumbing concept release?
- How should conscientious investors expect to vote in 2011?
We explain what investors can anticipate this year in activism in our blog post, with even a couple of predictions about what might happen - good, bad, and indifferent - in 2011.
