REUTERS/Rick Wilking/File PhotoAug 2 (Reuters) - Industrial equipment auctioneer RB Global Inc (RBA.TO) said on Wednesday it replaced its chief executive officer, Ann Fandozzi, who recently spearheaded a $7.3 billion acquisition, amid a dispute over equity compensation. The company, formerly called Ritchie Bros Auctioneers, said Jim Kessler, its former chief operating officer and president, has been named CEO. The company gave a second-quarter earnings preview, reporting that revenue jumped 128% to $1.1 billion and net income climbed 63% to $86.8 million. The company said Fandozzi asked the board to approve a program "out of step with market standards." "My focus has been on sustaining momentum while solidifying an all-equity, at-risk incentive program to align management with long-term performance and shareholder value," she said.

Ritchie founder perfects disappointed dad routine

The company stretching for its acquisition has done something worse: It disappointed dad. Ritchie investors are expected to approve the fiercely contested deal on Tuesday, a surprising outcome, especially to company co-founder David Ritchie. The pair didn’t speak out before because they assumed, given the weight of opposition to the deal, it was dead. If she succeeds, shareholders better hope her optimistic deal math holds up. They do not reflect the views of Reuters News, which, under the Trust Principles, is committed to integrity, independence, and freedom from bias.

Investors owning 10% of Ritchie’s shares, as well as IAA shareholder Discerene, want it nixed. They are about where they were before the deal was announced, but only after crashing 20% upon its unveiling. Worse, because Ritchie shareholders will only own part of the combined company, they don’t get the benefit of all of those savings, unlike in an all-cash deal. IAA shareholder Discerene and Ritchie Bros investors Luxor Capital, Janus Henderson, Vontobel, Deep Field Asset Management and Eminence Capital have publicly announced their opposition to the deal. Starboard Value has agreed to invest $500 million in Ritchie Bros in support of the deal, while IAA shareholder Ancora is also in favor.
Jan 23 (Reuters) - Canada's Ritchie Bros Auctioneers (RBA.TO) on Monday sweetened the cash component of its buyout offer for IAA Inc (IAA.N) by 28%, valuing the U.S. auto retailer at $5.94 billion, and also secured the backing of a key IAA shareholder which had questioned the initial offer. IAA shares rose 4.9% in morning trade, while Ritchie Bros's Toronto-listed shares were up 3%. The improved offer comes at a time when many companies are reducing costs and initiating layoffs in face of a potential economic downturn. Under the revised offer, IAA stockholders would receive $12.80 in cash, up from $10 earlier, and 0.5252 Ritchie Bros. share for each IAA share, down from 0.5804. Ritchie made the initial offer in November, valuing the company at about $7.3 billion, including debt.
Nov 7 (Reuters) - Canadian equipment marketplace Ritchie Bros Auctioneers Inc (RBA.TO) said on Monday it would buy U.S.-based IAA Inc (IAA.N) in a deal valued at about $7.3 billion to diversify into the salvage vehicle market. Both the companies have benefited from rising demand for used equipment. The global used equipment market is highly fragmented with total annual used equipment volumes estimated at over $300 billion. IAA stockholders will get $10 in cash and 0.5804 shares of Ritchie common stock for each IAA share held, the companies said. The purchase price of $46.88 per IAA share represents a premium of about 19% to IAA's stock close on Nov. 4.
