Global rules on foreign direct investment (FDI)
Cross-border acquisitions and investments increasingly trigger foreign direct investment (FDI) screening requirements.
Canada | Publication | November 17, 2020
Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) has updated its proxy voting guidelines for the 2021 proxy season. The Canadian updates relate to policies on board gender diversity, director accountability on environmental and social risk oversight failures and shareholder litigation rights as related to exclusive forum provisions. Unless otherwise noted, the revised guidelines are generally applicable to meetings held on or after February 1, 2021.
Depending on their institutional shareholder base, issuers will also want to consider the voting recommendations issued by other institutional shareholders that may, in some instances, exceed the ISS guidelines.
