Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: State corporate laws require shareholder approval for corporate charter amendments, but only the board of directors has the power to propose how to amend charters. The directors' exclusive power over charter amendment proposals creates a potential for managerial opportunism by refusing to propose amendments that empower shareholders or by pursuing amendments that favor managers. While shareholder approval can theoretically serve as a check against such opportunism, dispersed shareholders' rational apathy and collective action problems, can also prevent them from being effective monitors. Prior scholarship has thus viewed charter amendments with suspicion, but there has been no systematic, empirical examination to confirm or refute the possibilities of managerial opportunism. Based on hand-collected data on charter amendments of the top 250 U.S. companies over the past twenty-one years, this Article demonstrates that the recent trend of shareholder engagement has enabled them not only to check management-initiated amendments, but also to pressure directors into proposing shareholder-initiated amendments. Concerns over managerial opportunism, however, remain valid, as the data reveal subtle ways in which directors have preempted shareholders' voice with compromised terms. This Article updates our theoretical understanding of corporate charter amendments by reflecting the new dynamic with shareholder engagement, as well as normatively claims that state and federal authorities should secure even-handed procedures so as to give both shareholders and managers a meaningful voice in the charter amendment process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper takes issue with the increasingly influential view that companies should be completely free to opt out of corporate law rules by adopting appropriate charter provisions. I argue that the contractual view of the corporation, on which supporters of free opting out rely, offers substantial reasons for placing limits on opting out. The analysis focuses on opting out done by charter amendment, after a company has been formed, and highlight the differences between opting out by charter amendment and opting out in the initial charter. Analyzing the informational and collective action problems involved in the charter amendment process, I conclude that the case for placing limits on opt-out amendments is so compelling that even strong believers in free markets should recognize the need for such limits. I also provide criteria for determining the issues with respect to which, and the circumstances under which, opting out by charter amendment should be prohibited or restricted.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To reduce conflict of interests between stockholders and management, agency theory indicates several monitoring mechanisms, including internal board of director control and the external "market for corporate control." Management theorists and economists have independently conducted previous research on these mechanisms. Management researchers have examined the relationship between board characteristics and firm performance implicitly assuming a direct relationship. However, only in a limited set of decision contexts can a direct impact of board governance be observed (Kosnik, 1987). This dissertation examines board governance characteristics within the context of antitakeover amendment adoption, one of the most important of these decision contexts that involve conflict of interests between stockholders and management. The basic premise of this dissertation is that the adoption of antitakeover amendments is an important board-level decision that affects the influence of the market for corporate control. Such amendments can preserve the disciplining aspects of the market for corporate control while restricting practices that are not beneficial to all stockholders. Drawing from agency theory, this dissertation offers a governance model. The type of antitakeover amendments a firm adopts depends on three factors: an effective governance structure, the alignment of managerial and stockholders' interests, and stockholder control. A cross-sectional test of the proposed relationships based on a sample of 232 Standard & Poor's 500 firms as of 1985, indicates the relevance of board governance structure, alignment of interests, and stockholder control as predictors of antitakeover amendment adoption. Results also emphasize the importance of ownership factors (CEOs and institutional investors' stock ownership), in predicting adoptions. These results support and extend previous board governance literature. However, results of a five year assessment of the data indicate no systematic relationship across time, indicating that agency theory alone cannot adequately predict antitakeover amendment adoption. Firms that adopted contradictory amendments from an agency standpoint were qualitatively examined. Results of a content analysis of the proxy statements of three of these firms indicate that they often packaged positive and negative amendments in one proposal, and used three major themes to persuade stockholders to adopt antitakeover amendments: board unanimity, shareholders' interests, and the negativity of takeover tactics.
