Deal Day: Aerojet Rocketdyne

We invite you to join us for “Deal Day: Aerojet Rocketdyne,” on Thursday, November 7, 2024, 12:05 to 1:05 p.m., when ICGF Co-Director Edward Rock and Board member Bill Anderson (Senior Managing Director, Evercore) will have a conversation with Eileen (Drake) Paterson, former CEO and President, Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc., about the battle for control of Aerojet Rocketdyne. Evercore initially represented Aerojet Rocketdyne, advising the CEO and the independent members of the Board against an insurrection by the other half of the Board led by the Chairman and his company (a 5% shareholder). After a unique and intense fight, the CEO and her group of directors won, and new directors joined the Board. Aerojet Rocketdyne was eventually sold to L3 Harris in a transaction that closed last year.
