Abstract:
Passive hedge funds are increasingly considering active roles when they are dissatisfied with the management of specific portfolio companies. After describing such a scenario, the author discusses the steps a dissatisfied fund can take short of a full-scale proxy fight. He then closes with some important decisions a fund must make in that full-scale option.Keywords: Hart-Scott-Rodino (“HSR”); Federal Proxy Rules; Junior Proxy Contest Exemption
