Virtual | The Directors’ Dilemma: Mastering M&A in Today’s Turbulent Times

As mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity is expected to accelerate in 2024, this program will provide an opportunity to get informed on the latest details and issues affecting the current state of the M&A market.

The speakers will address important issues relating to board governance and transaction oversight, dealing with activists, and working with outside advisors. They will share their experience and lessons learned, including:

• a case study of a public company sale process through the lens of the board chair who led the company to a $2 billion sale to a private equity firm, which was the culmination of an extensive review of strategic alternatives that the board initiated after receiving an unsolicited proposal
• the process and considerations around acquisition strategy and supporting and appropriately challenging the management team to ensure the best possible outcomes from acquisitions

This program is designed to prepare directors for the unexpected twists and turns of an M&A process and provide actionable insights to enable directors to add value as their companies embark on strategically important, transformational transactions.

This is a virtual program.
