- Comment Forms of Shareholder Activism Activist shareholders can avail themselves of different methods to push the desired changes within or for the company. The most common forms of shareholder activism include: 1. Shareholder resolution This is a proposal that can be submitted by the shareholders for a vote at the company’s annual meeting. Although the management of companies generally opposes the submission of shareholder resolutions, this activism method is reasonably effective at engaging the public’s attention.2. Proxy FightsWhen a group of shareholders is not content with the company’s management or its actions/decisions, it may persuade other shareholders to use their proxy votes to effect changes in the management. A proxy vote is a form of voting where a shareholder is not willing or is not able to attend the shareholders’ meeting and delegates their voting power to a representative. 3. Publicity campaignsAn activist shareholder may use mass media to draw the public’s attention to a problem or issue in a corporation. Sometimes, publicity campaigns can be used to put pressure on the company’s management. 4. Negotiations with managementSometimes, activist shareholders can reach their goals through a simple negotiation with corporate management. 5. LitigationActivist shareholders can also initiate legal action against the company’s management to reach their goals. However, this option is the least desirable for both parties. The litigation processes are extremely expensive and can create negative sentiments around the company.
