☆ Nelson Peltz’s Trian has a stake in Rentokil. Here’s how the activist might boost shareholder value
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-15 | by ( Kenneth Squire | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +6 min

Rentokil offers a complete range of pest control services, from rodents to flying and crawling insects, to other forms of wildlife management. Trian, managed by Nelson Peltz, takes very few positions, but is very active in its positions. Rentokil Initial is a United Kingdom-based global provider of pest control, hygiene and well-being services for residential, commercial and industrial customers. However, when it has engaged with UK companies, the firm has consistently been able to create shareholder value. Shifting the listing to the U.S. is the low-hanging fruit of value creation and potentially divesting the European business could create additional value.

Against all odds, he became a successful entrepreneur and accomplished his goal of providing a good life for his family. My earliest memories of my dad are from when he was 40, just two years younger than I am now. He raised me as a single parent after my mom began shuttling between her native Chicago and Providence when I was 9. When I lost my dad in 2022, I foolishly thought I knew how to grieve, having already lost my mom.

This week I have connected, by phone or by email, with just over a quarter of the 836 Tony voters, and asked how they were voting.

☆ ‘ISIS isn’t done with us’: Arrested Tajiks highlight US fears of terror attack on US

By the time intelligence collected on overseas ISIS targets connected the men to the terror group, they had already been vetted by immigration authorities and allowed into the country, officials said. The men remain in federal custody on immigration charges and will eventually be deported following the counterterror investigation into them. US officials and analysts who closely track Islamist terror groups do know that ISIS-K has dramatically ramped up its online propaganda machine. But that’s not necessarily a reliable gauge of the number of actual terrorists who may be trying to enter the United States, US officials argue. Or they could belong to a legacy terror group — like the FARC — that isn’t known for conducting attacks on US soil.

Giuliani was served on May 17 in Palm Beach, Florida, at his 80th birthday bash held by a GOP operative. Arizona prosecutors spent weeks trying to track down the former New York City mayor and eventually found him based on his podcasts. A grand jury in Arizona handed up indictments last month charging over a dozen Trump allies, including the fake electors and several individuals connected to his campaign, over their efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss. Goodman added that Giuliani “will be fully vindicated.”The Arizona indictment is just the latest legal woe for Giuliani stemming from his time as Trump’s attorney after the 2020 presidential election.
