    Carl Icahn - Carl Icahn’s Commercial Metals Stake Continues To Lose Shine It has been about a year since activist investor Carl Icahn dropped his bid for Irving, Texas-based Commercial Metals Co. (CMC). After a proxy contest lasting several months, and the company urging its shareholders to refuse Icahn’s $15 per share tender offer, Commercial Metals can continue to welcome the New Year Icahn-free, as the takeover Guru reported his third stake reduction in the company today.

    Icahn, who once had about 10 percent control of the company, now has 6.17 percent of the company’s outstanding shares. In the third quarter of 2012, he had 6.82 percent outstanding shares.  Continue Reading »

  • Icahn Takes a Large Step Back from Greenbrier After Company Rejects Second Bid

    by Dianne Tordillo - Dec 26, 2012
    Carl Icahn - Icahn Takes A Large Step Back From Greenbrier After Company Rejects Second Bid Activist investor, Carl Icahn, who was once 9.99 percent owner of railcar maker, Greenbrier Companies Inc. (GBX), has now taken a leap back from its ownership and reduced his stake by 65.9 percent, reported on Dec. 21 according to GuruFocus Real Time Picks. The reduction came after Greenbrier rejected Icahn’s second bid, teaming up with American Railcar (ARII) as Icahn oversaw plans to merge the two companies. (To read about his first bid, go to Carl Icahn Pursues Greenbrier.)

    Icahn, who owns 55.6 percent of American Railcar’s outstanding shares, now holds a measly 924,262 shares of Greenbrier after the reduction, compared to the 2.7 million he originally owned when he first acquired the stock in November.

  • Icahn’s Oshkosh Reign Slims Down to 6.78%

    by Dianne Tordillo - Dec 11, 2012
    Carl Icahn - Icahn’s Oshkosh Reign Slims Down To 6.78% As of yesterday, Carl Icahn has reported giving up more of his shares of specialty truck producer, Oshkosh Corp. (OSK), trimming 1.2 million shares, his second reduction after deciding to call it quits in his tender offer several days ago when he failed to receive Oshkosh shareholder support. (Read Icahn Backs Off From Oshkosh.) The share disposal deflates Icahn’s ownership down to 6.78 percent from 8.13 percent six days ago. The reduction accounts for 16.57 percent of his overall stake, according to GuruFocus Real Time Picks.

    Over the past few months, Oshkosh confidently battled Icahn in a drawn out, publicized proxy fight. The basis of Icahn’s activist endeavors center around his belief that Oshkosh is undervalued and poorly managed. With every attempt, Oshkosh retaliated by reassuring its shareholders that Icahn’s claims were false and inadequate.  Continue Reading »


  • Icahn Abides by Tender Offer Deadline, Backs Off from Oshkosh and Reduces Stake

    by Dianne Tordillo - Dec 06, 2012
    Carl Icahn - Icahn Abides By Tender Offer Deadline, Backs Off From Oshkosh And Reduces Stake Dec. 3 marked the deadline for Carl Icahn to see whether he and Icahn Enterprises LP should continue the $32.50 per share tender offer they extended to shareholders of specialty truck producer, Oshkosh Corp. (OSK), one of the companies in Icahn’s takeover radar. Icahn placed a 25 percent tender threshold by the time of the deadline to continue the offer, anticipating Oshkosh shareholder support.

    The result? Only 22 percent of the shares were tendered by the time of the deadline, and no shares were purchased. As part of Icahn’s self-inflicted stipulations, he and Icahn Enterprises LP were left to abandon the tender offer. On top of that, Icahn reported to stepping down from 9.5 percent ownership of the company and reducing his shares by 14 percent, according to GuruFocus Real Time Picks.  Continue Reading »

  • Icahn's Corporate Governance Could Be Criticized, Too

    by GMI Ratings - Oct 26, 2012
    Carl C. Icahn recently criticized Oshkosh Corp. (OSK) for continuing to "overpromise and under deliver." After the activist investor asked Oshkosh shareholders to sell their holdings to him or replace the truck maker’s board with directors that his team nominated, the existing board recommended rejecting his offer on Friday on the grounds that it undervalues Oshkosh. As it happens, Icahn's own company could improve its corporate governance, too.

    Icahn Enterprises LP (IEP) is a diversified holding company that owns subsidiaries engaged in businesses ranging from gaming to home fashion. As of December 2011 it consisted of 20 people who are involved in tasks such as identifying and acquiring undervalued assets and businesses. Icahn’s affiliates own around 92.6% of the company’s outstanding depositary shares, raising questions about the extent to which the needs of his few investors get prioritized.  Continue Reading »

  • Navistar Strengthens Its Corporate Governance, but Problems Remain

    by GMI Ratings - Oct 12, 2012
    Caving under pressure from the activist investors Carl Icahn and Mark H. Rachesky, Navistar International Corp. (NAV) recently strengthened the supervision of its senior managers by replacing three board members. But the truck and engine maker still has more work to do on its corporate governance.

    The former CEO Daniel C. Ustian and his team struggled against headwinds in recent years ranging from the economic crisis to production failures. As Navistar’s stock price sank in the past year, Mr. Icahn has been upping his investment stake and pushing for change. On Sept. 11 he threatened that if Navistar didn’t shake up its uncooperative board of directors, he would “engage in the tiresome and expensive process of protracted litigation and a proxy fight.”  Continue Reading »

  • Carl Icahn Writes to Navistar - My Comments Are Not Threats, But Demands You Should Take Very Seriously

    by CanadianValue - Sep 12, 2012
    Dear Fellow Navistar Shareholders:

    In its September 10 press release the Navistar Board dismissed my September 9 letter as “threats, attacks and disruption rather than continuing constructive engagement”. As that Board is well aware, I have a $330.9 million investment in Navistar, a company with a market capitalization that has fallen from just under $3.5 billion to $1.7 billion in the past 12 months. The top four holders alone own approximately 56% of Navistar stock. Meanwhile, total ownership of the Board and management is less than 1.5%, nearly all of which has been granted to them by Navistar (in other words by you and me) -- they have no skin in the game. I have a message for the Navistar Board: My comments are not threats, they are demands that I take very seriously in light of my substantial investment, and as should you, in light of your fiduciary obligations.  Continue Reading »
