A dissident group solicits votes in an attempt to replace existing management. This is called a:

  • A.Proxy fight
  • B.Shareholder derivative action
  • C.Tender offer
  • D.Management freeze-out

Answer: A

Correct answer: Proxy fight

A proxy fight is a contest for votes rather than for shares: the dissidents solicit shareholders’ proxies in order to elect their own directors and so change the management without buying the company. It is far cheaper than a tender offer and correspondingly harder to win, since it requires persuading a majority of shareholders rather than paying them.
