Updated August 23, 2026 · through Special Situations Digest #29 (Aug 23, 2026) · 54 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 9 countries. Earlier coverage includes 1137+ 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.

The full weekly digest covers 500 to 700 situations across 25+ markets every Sunday (608 in Digest #29), with Excel/PDF/JSON exports, Copy-for-LLM and a searchable database of 9,500+ situations. Subscribe for full access.
