The panel will examine the current phenomena of how difficult it has become to gain shareholder approval for many recently proposed deals--even "friendly" deals. The panel will discuss some of the solicitation, PR, and valuation issues that surround getting a deal approved by shareholders, along with legal implications of these issues.
