Tales from M&A & Activism Frontlines

Regional Event

Details

Join us for a session with Ken King to learn what really happens inside Japan’s boardrooms during high-stakes transactions and shareholder activism. What do boards focus on? What do they miss? What is your responsibility?


We’ll explore real-world examples such as Nissan, Kao, and Seven & I and compare them with historical U.S. deals to highlight differences in board culture, legal strategy, and media exposure. Topics will include:

  • When are advisors brought in?

  • How are boards prepared to vote?

  • What are directors thinking when control, price, and reputation are on the line?

Expect an open conversation on what boards fear, what they overlook, and where governance must evolve to meet today’s challenges. If you want to understand the real dynamics of board decision-making during Japan’s governance transformation, this is the conversation you can’t afford to miss.

Location
