  • Huron Consulting Group Inc.; Rule 14A-8 No-Action Letter
    January 4, 2017 Eric Orsic McDermott Will & Emery LLP [email protected] Re: Huron Consulting Group Inc. Incoming letter dated December 13, 2016 Dear Mr. Orsic: This is in response to your letters dated December 13, 2016 and December 28, 2016 concerning the shareholder proposal submitted to Huron by Wayne E. Lipski. We also have received a letter from the proponent dated December 21, 2016. Copies of all of the correspondence on which this response is based will be made available on our website at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/cf- noaction/14a-8.shtml. For your reference, a brief discussion of the Division’s informal procedures regarding shareholder proposals is also available at the same website address. Sincerely, Matt S. McNair Senior Special Counsel Enclosure cc: Wayne E. Lipski ***FISMA & OMB Memorandum M-07-16*** January 4, 2017 Response of the Office of Chief Counsel Division of Corporation Finance Re: Huron Consulting Group Inc. Incoming letter dated December 13, 2016 The first proposal recommends that “management immediately disengage PricewaterhouseCoopers as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and replace them with another Big 4 Accounting Firm.” The second proposal relates to the selection of the company’s auditor. There appears to be some basis for your view that Huron may exclude the first proposal under rule 14a-8(i)(9). In our view, the proposal directly conflicts with management’s proposal because a reasonable shareholder could not logically vote in favor of both proposals. Accordingly, we will not recommend enforcement action to the Commission if Huron omits the first proposal from its proxy materials in reliance on rule 14a-8(i)(9).

  • Spark Capital Technology Newsletter
    INVESTMENT BANKING NEWSLETTER TECHNOLOGY APRIL 2018 FROM THE DIRECTOR’S DESK Dear Reader, Welcome to the eleventh edition of the monthly Technology Newsletter from Spark Capital. With this newsletter, we have tried to give you a flavour of various updates across the Software, Tech Services, Internet, and FinTech sectors. India’s consumer internet industry is undergoing tremendous innovations. Increasing internet penetration and digitization are changing the paradigm of consumer internet. Saavn’s sale to JioMusic could be a key step in the evolution of consumer internet industry in India. The deal proves that distribution, reach and large user bases aren’t the significant competitive moats (as they once were). JioMusic has levelled the playing field to such an extent that a new entrant has commanded twice the value of Saavn. The mobile user base is 15x larger than the PC world, hence the older competitive moats don’t work, the disruption cycles are so fast, that the competition in the consumer internet has never been fiercer. We are starting to see in some established categories with large numbers of entrants and few barriers to entry, where only price is the differentiator, that commodification is inexorable. If you are competing on price, at some point you will bottom out where you can no longer undercut. At that point, the business will begin to compete on service rather than customer acquisition, technology, category creation etc. Horizontal e-commerce has seen two clear leaders emerge which are Flipkart and Amazon respectively. We expect further consolidation among vertical players in grocery, food delivery, furniture.
