The Shareholder Rights Directive II (SRD II) promised to reshape the relationship between companies and their investors, affecting areas from say on pay to shareholder ID and proxy advisers. But what has been the actual impact so far?

IR Magazine checks in with Michael McPolin, managing director of market advocacy for EMEA and Asia-Pacific in Broadridge’s Investor Communication Solutions International business, to find out how SRD II has changed the IR role and what developments are still to come.
