Icahn Not Looking to Take Over Lions Gate Entertainment, Just a Bigger Voice

Carl Icahn told CNBC last Thursday that he is not looking to take control of Lions Gate Entertainment but was looking to boost his stake to in turn have a larger voice at the company.

 

Last year, Icahn blasted Lions Gate for the acquisition of TV Guide for $255 million.

Icahn stated, “I don’t say at all that I believe they shouldn’t take over MGM, but I think the shareholders should have the right to decide that, not the management.”

 

He currently holds an 18.9% stake in Lions Gate. He made an announcement last week that he plans to make a tender offer for over 13 million shares of stock at $6 each and said the offer was conditional on Lions Gate not entering any material transaction outside the ordinary course of business.
