Activism: A Case Study

Over the course of more than two years, noted activist Starboard Value LP waged a multifaceted public campaign at Box, Inc., culminating in a proxy contest in the summer of 2021 at which all Box nominees were reelected.  

Jack Lazar, director at Box, and Derek Zaba, Co-Head of Shareholder Activism Practice at Sidley Austin, discussed this campaign and the lessons that can be learned to help public company directors navigate an increasingly complex shareholder activism landscape in 2023 and beyond.
