Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper evaluates the primary mechanisms for changing management or obtaining control in publicly traded corporations with dispersed ownership. Specifically, we analyze and compare three mechanisms: (1) proxy fights (voting only); (2) takeover bids (buying shares only); and (3) a combination of proxy fights and takeover bids in which shareholders vote on acquisition offers. We first show how proxy fights unaccompanied by an acquisition offer suffer from substantial shortcomings that limit the use of such contests in practice. We then argue that combining voting with acquisition offers is superior not only to proxy fights alone but also to takeover bids alone. Finally, we show that, when acquisition offers are in the form of cash or the acquirer's existing securities, voting shareholders can infer from the pre-vote market trading which outcome would be best in light of all the available public information. Our analysis has implications for the ongoing debates in the US over poison pills and in Europe over the new EEC directive on takeovers.

How should management and boards deal with the proxy advisory firms and institutional investors? How have shark repellents been attacked and dismantled by activists? What are the consequences and what are the board's options? Can the board resort to self-help in adopting by-law changes without a shareholder vote? What type of advance notice by-law should the company have? Proxy contests, both traditional and "short-slate" campaigns, have become much more frequent--how should boards prepare and respond? What is the effect of having a "majority voting" standard and how should it be defined? What will be the effect of proxy access and elimination of broker discretionary voting? What are the current rules defining the fiduciary duties of directors in considering unsolicited bids or strategic mergers and what courses of action are available to the board? What are the permissible techniques for selling a company? When do "go-shops" make sense? Can a buyer "lock-up" a deal with a control shareholder? How do antitrust considerations affect the board's options and strategy? What is the state of the art in poison pills? What is the utility and appropriateness of adopting an NOL (net-operating loss) poison pill?
