Summary:
"This Commentary is the first comprehensive work to analyse the revised EU Shareholder Rights Directive (SRD II). SRD II sets a new agenda for engaged shareholders and sustainable companies in the EU, sparking a wider debate on the adoption of duties in company and capital markets law. By providing a systematic and thorough framework for analysis, this Commentary evaluates the purpose and aims of SRD II and further enriches the debate on the usefulness of the EU's drive to encourage long-term shareholder engagement. Key features include: article by article analysis of each of the provisions as adopted in the revised SRD II contribution to the ongoing discussions on shareholder rights and duties anticipated to be at the centre of debate for years to come detailed explanation by leading scholars in the field to ensure complete understanding of each SRD II provision for the reader exploration of the two pillars of shareholder engagement: the facilitation of shareholder rights and improved communication to bridge procedural gaps and implementation of transparency obligations applicable to companies, investors and service providers.
