Icahn Seeks Mentor's Acquisition or Sell-offJB's Circuit - John BlylerFeb. 10, 2011 |
Activist investor Carl Icahn has been very quiet about his reasons for acquiring more and more interest in EDA company Mentor Graphics. That silence has now been replaced with an appearance on CNBC where he and a fellow investor have called for the acquisition or sell-off of the EDA company.
Why generate such attention now? Icahn claims his actions are triggered by Mentor’s sudden change in the date of its annual investor meeting. This means that Icahn has less time to nominate his supporters for election to the company’s board.
