Updated October 4, 2026 · through Special Situations Digest #35 (Oct 4, 2026) · 58 this week
A running index of shareholder activist campaigns covered in the Special Situations Digest: recent 13D filings, proxy contests, board nominations, and stake disclosures from activist investors across global markets, with each item linked to the underlying filing. Below: the 100 most recent situations spanning 10 countries. Earlier coverage includes 1449+ additional situations from prior issues.
Shareholder activism is one of the largest categories of special situations tracked weekly. When an activist crosses the 5% threshold and files a 13D in the U.S., or an equivalent large-shareholding report in Europe or Asia, the disclosure often catalyzes corporate change: board refreshes, strategic reviews, sales of non-core assets, or going-private transactions. The Special Situations Digest tracks these campaigns from initial disclosure through proxy outcomes.
Pro includes full weekly issues, downloads, the situations database, and the live feed. Subscribe for full access.
