The recent SEC statement on Rule 14a-8 proposals will create some interesting discussions among companies and their investors. Precatory shareholder proposals may dwindle, but I expect investors will find other ways of communicating with shareholders. Perhaps more proxy fights!

Happy World Okapi Day!

Okapis are only living relative of the giraffe and one of the most elusive animals on Earth. Native to the rainforests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, okapis are masters of camouflage with zebra-like stripes and long, leaf-grabbing tongues. Sadly, they’re Endangered due to habitat destruction and poaching.

One way you can help them is recycling old electronics! You can do that right here at the zoo as part of the Gorillas on the Line campaign. Joining the fight to protect the Congo helps secure a future not only okapis, but gorillas, hippos, chimps, elephants, and so many more species!

Our CEO Bruce Goldfarb spoke to @rogoswami at Semafor for his piece on ExxonMobil’s new Retail Voting Program, which allows retail investors to automatically vote their shares in favor of management’s recommendations. This could have a significant effect on shareholder activism.
