Capital Structure Authorization Advisory

If your company is listed on US exchanges and you are planning a proposal to increase capital stock, our Capital Structure Authorization advisory service can help you focus on the key company-specific issues — performance, past share usage, future plans — that drive shareholder votes.

Our team will work with you to evaluate the financial impact of the proposal relative to widely accepted corporate governance guidelines, such as:

• Planned uses of the new shares
  
• Current equity compensation practices
  
• Company performance relative to peer group

We will also help you test various scenarios to arrive at a proposal that aligns with shareholder expectations.
