<p>在所有三筆交易中，Kingsdale 與財務和法律顧問緊密合作，為客户提供對股東情緒、風險緩解策略和量身定製的參與方案的深入見解，以推動股東批准。</p>
<p>Kingsdale 在交付成功結果方面無與倫比的業績記錄鞏固了其作為股東和治理諮詢領域值得信賴的領導者的地位。通過積極主動的方式，Kingsdale 確保客户不僅能夠成功與股東溝通，還能在市場不確定時期順利應對並取得成功。</p>

</div><p>Each transaction presented unique challenges. Two were cross-border deals spanning Canada and the United States. One transaction required approvals from multiple stakeholder groups, including Common Shareholders, Preferred Shareholders, and Limited Recourse Capital Note Holders. Another saw Kingsdale drive a 30% increase in shareholder participation to counter a &#34;Vote No&#34; campaign led by the target company's largest shareholder.</p>
