Challenges to Corporate Control

While challenges to the management and direction of corporate entities are hardly new, today’s investment community is more prudent than ever and with capital flowing across industries and continents, the barriers to coordinating and financing acquisitions and efforts for control change within even the largest companies have been significantly lowered. Corporate boards and senior management operate under the market’s expectations of value-added growth and strong governance, and when actual performance does not meet these objectives, shareholders and other parties are well-prepared to influence or seize existing corporate management structures.

In support of efforts to resolve these challenges, from the friendly to the hostile, iVision implements targeted research techniques, focusing on previous and existing adversarial relationships, regulatory compliance history, and experience and success in other control contests. Whether on behalf of existing management of a takeover target or the contestants in these actions themselves, iVision provides information pertaining to issues of integrity and credibility, including key undisclosed relationships, self-dealing, conflicting business activities or other conduct which may be deemed adverse to the ultimate interests of the underlying stakeholders.
