Paradigm Capital Presentation: The Rise of Mid Market Activism in Canada

Paradigm Capital will provide an overview of the growing wave of shareholder activism in Canada’s mid market and what this means for boards heading into 2026. We’ll explore the factors driving increased activist attention including, valuation pressures, governance expectations, and shifting capital flows, and how these dynamics are reshaping the risk landscape for public companies that historically viewed activism as a large cap issue.

Our discussion will focus on the practical implications for boards, with an emphasis on financial preparedness, valuation defensibility, and early stage defense planning. We’ll outline how boards can strengthen their position through proactive engagement, robust independent advice, and clear articulation of strategic alternatives.
