From Black Wednesday to the Great Recession, the phenomenon has shaped global markets for decades. The impact of short selling, particularly concerted short attacks, can be just as dramatic for individual companies. Ravaging corporate reputations, and sometimes their long-term financial health, the practice has impacted companies as varied as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2023\/11\/17\/jim-chanos-the-short-seller-who-called-enrons-fall-is-converting-hedge-fund-to-a-family-office.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Enron<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/world\/hedge-funds-pocket-15-billion-as-wirecard-goes-bust-idUSKBN23W260\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wirecard<\/a>. More recently, short sellers had another bellwether moment when in May 2023 Hindenburg Research issued a short report on Icahn Enterprises costing one of the most famed activist investors\/corporate raiders Carl Icahn a significant amount of his <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2023\/05\/02\/carl-icahn-net-worth-billionaire-plunges-hindenburg-research-short-seller\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">personal wealth<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, if short selling remains an everyday practice \u2013 according to Nasdaq, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasdaq.com\/articles\/a-deep-dive-into-how-short-selling-really-works\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">typical stock<\/a> sees around 40-50% of its daily trading volume sold short \u2013 executives too often dismiss the possibility of short attacks as they are less discussed than ESG issues or traditional long-only shareholder activism. But where investor concerns around environmental, governance and social issues can be managed over the long-term, short attacks usually appear quickly and, without an effective response strategy, have the potential to overwhelm leaders and their firms.<\/p>\n<p>But for victims of a short attack, the situation is not hopeless. Though sudden, short attacks don\u2019t usually happen without warning signs. Rather, short sellers look to exploit vulnerable stocks. Red flags can be years in the making, with regulatory challenges and frequent proxy battles just two examples among many. Knowing the warning signs can give forward-thinking executives a chance to deal with problems in advance.<\/p>\n<p>Foresight can prove equally useful if the worst does happen, with boards primed with an effective response strategy that reassures shareholders that their fundamentals remain strong, whatever short attackers might claim. Such a strategy runs in parallel to the broader business advantages that can be achieved by focusing on good corporate governance and investor relations, and is bolstered by partnering with <a href=\"https:\/\/allianceadvisors.com\/es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">independent advisory firms<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paulhastings.com\/practice-areas\/short-seller-defense\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">law firms<\/a> with deep experience in the field.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1730446417626 vc_row-o-equal-height vc_row-flex wpex-relative wpex-vc-has-custom-column-spacing wpex-vc-column-spacing-0px wpex-vc_row-has-fill wpex-vc-reset-negative-margin\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4 wpex-vc_col-has-fill\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner vc_custom_1730125675369\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear visible-phone\" style=\"height:250px;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-8\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner vc_custom_1730125606786\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div style=\"color:#393939;width:600px;\" class=\"wpb_text_column has-custom-color wpex-child-inherit-color wpex-max-w-100 wpex-mr-auto wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2><span style=\"color: #393939\">\u00abExecutives too often dismiss the possibility of short attacks as they are less discussed than ESG issues or traditional long-only shareholder activism.\u00bb<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Sean Donahue<\/strong><br \/>\nPaul Hastings<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1730122287316 wpex-vc-full-width-row wpex-vc-full-width-row--centered wpex-relative wpex-vc-has-custom-column-spacing wpex-vc-column-spacing-60 no-bottom-margins\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" id=\"what-are-short-attacks\">\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2>What Are Short Attacks \u2013 And Why Are They So Dangerous?<\/h2>\n<p>A short attack occurs when a short seller publishes a short report on a company. This report typically contains several negative allegations regarding the company and is intended to drive the stock price down. The short seller will typically have borrowed shares and sold them in advance of issuing the short report. After the short report is issued and the stock price has declined the short seller will repurchase the shares at a lower price and repay the loan.<\/p>\n<p>Short attacks remain a significant threat to corporations around the world.

For example, in 2023, approximately two-thirds of short attacks resulted in a negative one-week return for companies, with one report resulting in a greater than 90% negative one-week return for the company.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the diversity of the victims, the short attackers\u2019 playbook remains largely similar. Short seller activists act like tabloid investigative reporters eager to unearth proof that a target company is overvalued and amplifying the story as loud as they can. This is usually done by offering evidence of corporate mismanagement or malfeasance, or highlighting accounting issues or weak executives, just two examples among many. That, in turn, allows attackers to borrow a security whose price they suspect will fall and sell the stock on the open market before unleashing their plan and buying the now-cheaper shares back for profit and closing out their short position.<\/p>\n<p>It goes without saying that the consequences of this practice for companies is extremely serious and can be very costly. Short attacks are often traumatic for CEOs, CFOs, and other executives, as well as for the board of directors, driving at the heart of what makes a company viable. And even if an attack doesn\u2019t bankrupta firm altogether, corporate uncertainty is almost guaranteed to erupt. To make matters worse, the attention of the board and management is invariably diverted from day-to-day responsibilities and strategic opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 4\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<h2>What Makes Companies Susceptible to Short Attacks?<\/h2>\n<p>As self-proclaimed investigators of corporate weakness, short attackers pick their targets carefully.

One tactic is to have a share repurchase program in place and to repurchase shares if the stock price becomes depressed. Insiders can also purchase shares in an effort to boost the stock price. These tactics can be used both in advance of or in the face of a short attack to decrease downward pressure on the stock. Beyond stock buybacks, the exact course of action depends on the specific problems a company faces. If, for instance, a firm is reliant on PIPE financings, it can set a minimum share price below which no stock can be issued. Ensuring shareholder concerns are resolved promptly is also critical. Staying abreast of potentially problematic investors is crucial, and is bolstered by the use of best-in-class ownership intelligence platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Yet more than any single policy, the most essential thing in a company\u2019s toolbox is its board and management culture. If, for example, a company conducts detailed risk assessments of potential problems, a company is far more likely to identify and mitigate any issues before an attack occurs. Tracking industry trends, and carefully considering how they might affect a company\u2019s share price, is also an effective tool. The failure to adequately track and address long-present issues played a role in the Silicon Valley Bank case: between its reliance on homogeneous depositors and its surprising asset size growth, the situation at Silicon Valley Bank <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/mayrarodriguezvalladares\/2023\/03\/11\/warning-signals-about-silicon-valley-bank-were-all-around-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">was ominous<\/a> as far back as 2019 with a short seller using social media <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2023\/03\/10\/silicon-valley-bank-svb-short-seller-william-martin-twitter-2-months\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">to warn against<\/a> the Bank\u2019s demise two months before it collapsed.<\/p>\n<p>Improving relationships with investors is also important to a company\u2019s overall short attack defense strategy. By partnering with experts in shareholder engagement, CEOs can further gauge pressure points with investors before they become critical \u2013 a pertinent tactic when, in 2024 year-to-date, 88 companies have been the subject of short attacks. Frequent external communications are an effective way to improve investor relationships. By articulating a firm\u2019s tactical and strategic goals, and publishing evidence of practical progress, executives can bolster their credibility, taking the rug out from under would-be attackers before they can strike. Once again, the numbers here are telling, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ajg.com\/employeeexperience\/-\/media\/files\/gallaghercomms\/gcommssite\/state-of-the-sector-2024.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">63% of insiders<\/a> agreeing that communicating on strategy, purpose and values is a key priority.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few quantitative methods to detect whether a short attack is on the horizon. The first is for a company to monitor its overall short interest as a percentage of its public float. Another method is to monitor the cost to borrow a company\u2019s stock. Because short sellers borrow shares in connection with taking a short position, an increase in the cost to borrow may indicate a short attack is coming. These financial methods of predicting a short attack can be combined with the qualitative methods discussed above to help determine whether a company is vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1730358941808 vc_row-o-equal-height vc_row-flex wpex-relative wpex-vc-has-custom-column-spacing wpex-vc-column-spacing-0px wpex-vc_row-has-fill wpex-vc-reset-negative-margin\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4 wpex-vc_col-has-fill\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner vc_custom_1730127282601\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear visible-phone\" style=\"height:250px;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-8\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner vc_custom_1730125606786\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div style=\"color:#393939;width:600px;\" class=\"wpb_text_column has-custom-color wpex-child-inherit-color wpex-max-w-100 wpex-mr-auto wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2><span style=\"color: #393939\">\u00abThere are a few quantitative methods to detect whether a short attack is on the horizon.

Short selling is facilitated by brokerage firms lending shares held in margin accounts to short sellers that are betting that the price of a stock decreases over time.<\/p>\n<p>A company can consider issuing a press release asking company shareholders to instruct their brokers not to lend their shares. The press release can include a form of a letter to a broker: (i) instructing the broker not to hold the shares in a margin account and (ii) electing to opt out of any share lending programs.<\/p>\n<p>As an alternative to issuing a press release, the company could send a letter to shareholders requesting that shareholders instruct their brokers not to lend their shares.<\/p>\n<p>The methods described above may be useful where a company identifies that it has a large short interest in relation to its public float or a high cost to borrow its shares.<\/p>\n<h2>Responding to Short Attacks<\/h2>\n<p>Though careful planning to guard against short attacks can reduce the risk of them occurring, sometimes the worst does happen. Despite the pressure this inevitably piles on company executives, it\u2019s crucial not to panic. If firms have honed their response strategy in advance, they may be able to repel aggressive attacks. The crucial thing is to effectively counter any short reports with effective tactics in an effort to stop the share price from dropping, and the short attack from succeeding.<\/p>\n<p>Speed and transparency are two unsurprising watchwords here. In practice, leaders can pursue a range of options to respond to short attacks. From a personnel perspective, building a dedicated \u2018crisis team\u2019 of key managers is one good example. Nimble and experienced, this core group can orchestrate any response promptly \u2013 especially when it comes to public communications in the face of a short attack. If, for example, a firm has an upcoming earnings conference call, a strongly worded defense can work well. Letters to shareholders and press releases can prove successful too, especially when presaged by perception studies that inform leaders of investor concerns. In more serious cases, boards may form a committee and hire outside counsel to investigate the claims in a short report and\/or hire a forensic accounting firm to show that the company is taking the claims seriously.<\/p>\n<p>While short attackers claims may be exaggerated or off base, they often make a handful of claims based in truth. Given that, the best strategy for companies is often to not give assailants any additional ammunition. In this regard, when faced with a short attack, the company will need to determine if any public response is warranted. There are instances where a public response is absolutely warranted and necessary. There are other instances where a public response may give credibility to a short report that is otherwise being largely ignored by the market. Whether or not to publicly respond is typically a critical first decision point when a company is the subject of a short attack.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2>After the Initial Noise &#8211; First Steps \u2013 Advisor Roles<\/h2>\n<p><b>Know<\/b><b> <\/b><b>the<\/b><b> <\/b><b>Enemy: <\/b>Using the resources from all its advisors, the first thing a company should do is understand who they are dealing with. Short sellers come in all different stripes, so it is important to build a dossier on the short seller\u2019s campaign history and tendencies. All short sellers have a playbook, so the more a company understands about the short sellers, the more effective their response strategy will be.<\/p>\n<p><b>Proxy Advisor: <\/b>Companies must immediately begin an Ownership Intelligence (Oi) campaign (see sample below), which provides an analysis of the institutional and retail shareholders holding the company\u2019s stock. This will quickly provide intelligence into the shareholder base of the company\u2019s stock and the identity and characteristics of such shareholders.<\/p>\n<p>Oi is streamlined market surveillance that identifies and tracks the true institutional shareholders that are holding a direct financial interest in a company\u2019s stock, but are hiding behind custodians. While many companies claim they know who owns their stock, in a short attack a company can literally see its shareholder profile change overnight and continue to shift with news cycles and external market factors.<\/p>\n<p>Executive leadership\u2019s and the board\u2019s understanding of who owns shares in their company \u2013 and how many shares they own \u2013 allows them to see where the stock is moving. This, in turn, provides the opportunity to develop an investor relations strategy to combat the short report, while also providing insight into the potential market reaction to any public announcement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Top Shareholder<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e4h8grreyn6.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/445_SHORT-REPORT_2-8.png?w=2560\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-51494 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/e4h8grreyn6.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/445_SHORT-REPORT_2-8.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2252\" height=\"1279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e4h8grreyn6.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/445_SHORT-REPORT_2-8.png 2252w, https:\/\/e4h8grreyn6.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/445_SHORT-REPORT_2-8-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/e4h8grreyn6.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/445_SHORT-REPORT_2-8-1024x582.png 1024w, https:\/\/e4h8grreyn6.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/445_SHORT-REPORT_2-8-768x436.png 768w, https:\/\/e4h8grreyn6.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/445_SHORT-REPORT_2-8-1536x872.png 1536w, https:\/\/e4h8grreyn6.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/445_SHORT-REPORT_2-8-2048x1163.png 2048w, https:\/\/e4h8grreyn6.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/445_SHORT-REPORT_2-8.png?w=225 225w, https:\/\/e4h8grreyn6.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/445_SHORT-REPORT_2-8.png?w=450 450w, https:\/\/e4h8grreyn6.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/445_SHORT-REPORT_2-8.png?w=675 675w, https:\/\/e4h8grreyn6.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/445_SHORT-REPORT_2-8.png?w=900 900w, https:\/\/e4h8grreyn6.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/445_SHORT-REPORT_2-8.png?w=1126 1126w, https:\/\/e4h8grreyn6.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/445_SHORT-REPORT_2-8.png?w=1351 1351w, https:\/\/e4h8grreyn6.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/445_SHORT-REPORT_2-8.png?w=1801 1801w, https:\/\/e4h8grreyn6.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/445_SHORT-REPORT_2-8.png?w=1920 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Stock<\/b><b> <\/b><b>Loan<\/b><b> <\/b><b>Analysis:<\/b><b> <\/b>Every company facing a short attack should conduct a Stock Loan Analysis.

This streamlined report is a valuable resource for issuers to incorporate into their response to a short seller campaign and can also help to predict a short attack. A company\u2019s ability to identify that there are a lot of shares out on loan may serve as an early warning sign that a short attack is coming.<\/p>\n<p>To put the size of this market into context, it is estimated that globally, securities lending makes up around<\/p>\n<p>$3 trillion in outstanding loans. Some of the major participants in this market include pension funds, mutual funds, and insurance companies, as well as hedge funds, broker-dealers, and custodial banks.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, the interests of short sellers and institutional shareholders are not aligned, therefore a company can engage with their institutions to request that they reconsider their stock loan policy during or in advance of a short attack.

By offering insights into investor sentiments and market dynamics, IR can help shape the company\u2019s strategic response, ensuring that management and the board are well-informed and prepared to address concerns head-on. This trusted advisory role is crucial in maintaining transparency, fostering trust, and demonstrating the company\u2019s commitment to safeguarding shareholder interests.<\/p>\n<p>In advance of a short attack and even after an attack has occurred, a company\u2019s existing disclosure can be thoroughly reviewed to identify any areas that could be exploited by short sellers. By addressing these potential vulnerabilities proactively, the company can fortify its position and preemptively counter negative narratives.<\/p>\n<p>Refreshing the investor presentation is another crucial strategy. This involves updating and refining the content to specifically address the attack points raised by short sellers.

These routine updates can be leveraged to highlight positive developments and progress, subtly countering the negative sentiments propagated by short attacks. Identifying and emphasizing these opportunities within the next earnings announcement materials can also be highly effective. By weaving in responses to attack points, the company can use these announcements to directly address concerns and demonstrate resilience.<\/p>\n<p>Engaging directly with shareholders through a non-deal roadshow (virtual, in-person and\/or hybrid), accompanied by supportive analysts, is another key tactic. This outreach effort, coordinated with 成人视频\u2019 Ownership Intelligence (OI) team, involves analyzing stock ownership patterns over a six-day window to identify which shareholders are staying loyal and which may be swayed by the attacks. This data- driven approach ensures that the roadshow is targeted and impactful, fostering direct communication and reassurance among shareholders.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the possibility of holding an analyst and investor day should be considered. This can provide a platform for deeper engagement with the investment community, offering a comprehensive overview of the company\u2019s strategy, performance, and long-term vision.

A company may also receive an inquiry from the SEC\u2019s enforcement division or become the subject of a DOJ investigation. As such, it is important to have counsel experienced in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paulhastings.com\/practice-areas\/securities-litigation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">securities<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paulhastings.com\/practice-areas\/securities-litigation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">litigation<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paulhastings.com\/practice-areas\/securities-enforcement-defense-and-regulatory-counseling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SEC enforcement defense<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paulhastings.com\/practice-areas\/investigations-and-white-collar-defense\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">white collar defense<\/a> when dealing with a short seller report.<\/p>\n<p>It is also important for the Board to consider whether it should engage a law firm to conduct an investigation of the claims made in a short report. It is often advisable for the company to retain independent counsel to investigate the claims made in a short report rather than relying on existing counsel.<\/p>\n<p>A company\u2019s board of directors should consider the claims made in a short report as it may have a fiduciary duty to investigate credible claims. This is less likely to be the case when the report merely generally critiques the company\u2019s business model or the company\u2019s execution of its strategy. An investigation of claims is more likely to be considered when the report contains allegations of impropriety or accounting irregularities that are potentially credible or for which the company has no information at the present time to determine their credibility.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the allegations, companies are often advised to form a special committee to investigate such claims or to investigate such claims through the audit committee, and to retain independent counsel for that purpose. Conducting an investigation may also prove helpful in anticipation of inquiries from regulators, signaling the company\u2019s proactive efforts to investigate the claims.<\/p>\n<p>A company may consider various legal remedies when dealing with a short seller. One potential response is for a company to seek to persuade the SEC or DOJ to investigate and bring claims against a short seller. In addition to contacting the government, a company may also pursue private civil litigation against short sellers engaged in short and distort schemes. Five potential civil claims that can be made against a short seller are: defamation, trade libel and disparagement, tortious inference, state consumer protections, and civil conspiracy. Such actions present companies with an opportunity to recover some of the damages sustained from short sellers\u2019 market manipulation schemes. Any strategy that involves going to the government or brining civil litigation should be considered very carefully before being deployed as it may actually do more harm than good. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paulhastings.com\/practice-areas\/short-seller-defense\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Counsel experienced<\/a> in these matters should be consulted before deciding on this course of action.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid wpex-relative\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2>Response Strategy \u2013 All Advisors<\/h2>\n<p>The response strategy should generally include the following steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Isolate the major allegationss of the short seller and gather the facts to refute the allegations.<\/li>\n<li>Communicate with all stakeholders (shareholders, employees, customers, partners, and vendors).
