High stakes proxy contests demand more than strong messaging, they require integrated strategy, real time intelligence, and the ability to anticipate every dissident move.

The company had a three-year voter turnout below 25%, an activist holding more than 8% of common shares, and the largest shareholder abstaining from the vote.
Find out how Kingsdale secured overwhelming support across key votes in an unprecedented scenario with no playbook.
