Lions Gate Fights Carl Icahn’s Efforts to Increase Stake
| March 12th, 2010 | ||
| Jon Feltheimer, Chairman and Chief Executive of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp (NYSE: LGF), has encouraged shareholders to deny Carl Icahn’s attempt to amass almost 30% of the company at a price of $6 per share calling the bid “financially inadequate and coercive”, according to the Wall Street Journal. Carl Icahn has denied intent to control the company, but would like more influence in determining the company’s strategic direction. Feltheimer believes the $6 per share bid undervalues the shares, which are currently trading at $5.75, and allows Icahn to acquire control of the company without paying a control premium. | ||
