Thanks to @morgansimon1 for citing my @BLaw op-ed in @Forbes. Shareholder proposals are the canary in the corporate governance mine shaft. The @SECGov’s proposal to rescind Rule 14a-8 would silence it. Comments are due November 20. @SMULawSchool forbes.com/sites/morgansimon…

New on @SSRN: The Shareholding Rights Shift from India to Delaware and Texas (w/ Aditya Baheti). We argue American corporate law has become shareholding-centric rather than shareholder-centric using India as a comparative mirror to DE and TX bit.ly/IndiaTXDE @SMULawSchool

Replying to @UPS
@UPS & @bikeflights, I’d love to know how my bike gets to Bayonne, NJ & vanishes at the shipping facility. Shall I file a police report because it seems clearly someone at @UPS has stolen my bicycle? I will now instruct my broker to sell any @UPS stock he may have purchased

I spoke to @FT last week regarding the impact of ExxonMobil's recent corporate governance moves. Check out the article below: ft.com/content/df23c041-d506… via @FT

Check out the latest episode of the @fordhamcorpcntr Bite Sized Business Podcast during which I discuss ExxonMobil’s first of its kind retail investor voting program. As Broadridge is now marketing the model more broadly it’s sure to be adopted by others. @SMULawSchool
Is ExxonMobil's new retail investor program empowering retail investors or consolidating corporate power? @ProfSautter explains the controversial new program, challenges of investor participation, implications for corp governance, shareholder rights, and investor influence.

I’m honored to have been quoted by the @FT regarding ExxonMobil’s shareholder vote tmrw. The vote tmrw is larger than Exxon. It is potentially a model moving forward for all large corporations with a significant retail shareholder base ft.com/content/3ab7df53-af29…

ExxonMobil's SEC filing names me 7 times, demotes me from "Professor" to "Ms." by ref 6, calls my scholarship "fundamentally false," but engages with none of the arguments. The scholarship is working. Filing: sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/… Article: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…

Rare to see my scholarship have an impact in real time. NYC Comptroller's Office cites my op-eds and Corporate Disenfranchisement (w/ @sergioalberto_ ) in its letter to ExxonMobil shareholders ahead of the May 27 vote. sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/…
