☆ How Keith Meister of Corvex sees lines blurring between private equity and activist investors
  + stars: | 2023-10-17 | by ( Brian Evans | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
A change in the way activist and private equity investors are viewed is underway, Corvex Management founder Keith Meister said Tuesday. Corporate raider is a term used to refer to aggressive activist investors. "The reason it hasn't happened more quickly is because the amazing large private equity funds have been victims of their own successes," Meister said. Activist investors, which include Trian's Nelson Peltz, can agitate for a wide variety of changes including selling off underperforming or undervalued businesses or replacing management teams. Private equity investors, meanwhile, usually build a controlling stake in a company, with the aim of taking it private and making it more valuable before selling it for a profit.

A general view of the drug product manufacturing laboratory in biologics and sterile injectables, Catalent, in Brussels, Belgium June 27, 2023. The sources declined to be identified because the information is confidential and cautioned a deal could still collapse at the last minute. Spokespeople for Catalent and Elliott declined to comment. In the past when Elliott has pushed for sales of pieces or the entire target company, including at eBay and Switch Inc., and then won board representation, significant ownership changes have followed. Novo Nordisk's weight-loss drug Wegovy is filled by Catalent’s Brussels factory and last week Reuters reported that Catalent’s plant in Bloomington, Indiana will begin filling Wegovy injection pens for Novo.

A general view of the drug product manufacturing laboratory in biologics and sterile injectables, Catalent, in Brussels, Belgium June 27, 2023. Spokespeople for Catalent and Elliott declined to comment. The U.S.-based contract drugmaker is also Danish company Novo Nordisk's (NOVOb.CO) main manufacturing partner for its popular weight-loss drug Wegovy. The volatility at Catalent could increase scrutiny on the relationship between Novo and its partner. Reuters reported last week that a second Catalent factory will begin filling Wegovy injection pens for Novo as part of an expanded supply agreement.

Aug 10 (Reuters) - Canada's Algonquin Power & Utilities (AQN.TO) on Thursday announced the resignation of CEO Arun Banskota and said it was considering a sale of its renewable energy unit, after activist firms urged action to reduce debt and boost earnings. The decision to divest comes months after the company initiated a strategic review of the renewable energy division, following a push for changes by activist firms including Corvex Management and Starboard Value. Algonquin said it had received interest for the renewable energy unit, but did not provide financial details or timelines for any potential deals. The company said on Thursday JPMorgan (JPM.N) would act as its financial advisor for the possible sale of the renewable energy unit, which includes all of the company's non-regulated operating and development power generation assets. Algonquin also posted a wider second-quarter loss of $253.2 million, compared with a loss of $33.4 million a year earlier.

Corvex Management's Keith Meister said 2023 will be a tricky year for stock investors on the back of the Federal Reserve's rate-hiking campaign. "It'll be a choppy year, if you think about the risk premium for equities," Meister said on CNBC's " Closing Bell " Tuesday.
