Jim Cramer to Host The Deal's Corporate Governance Conference: Cybersecurity, Board Structure, Activists and Other Challenges to Value Creation

NEW YORK, May 24, 2017

The conference will include a highly anticipated Cybersecurity panel, in the wake of the "WannaCry" attacks, moderated by James J. Cramer, Founder of TheStreet, Inc.; best-selling author; Host, "Mad Money with Jim Cramer" and Co-Anchor of "Squawk on The Street," CNBC. This panel will discuss what leaders need to know in order to protect themselves from becoming vulnerable to arguably the most perilous risk facing companies today. Discussion will center around how to reduce and manage the threat of cybersecurity attacks, and how to respond to an incident while minimizing the resulting legal, regulatory and business fallout.

Cramer will also conduct keynote interviews with Ed Garden, Chief Investment Officer & Founding Partner of Trian Fund Management, L.P., Randall J. Hogan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Pentair, and Chief Justice Leo E. Strine, Jr., of the Delaware Supreme Court.

"Our conference aims to help board members, C-suite executives and others navigate these troubled waters."
