Analysis · BETR · Finance
A major institutional holder, Activant Capital, which owns 8.9% of Class A shares, has now publicly stated it intends to consent to the removal of the five directors targeted by former CEO Vishal Garg's consent solicitation. This is a significant escalation in the proxy fight: a large, previously neutral investor is aligning with the dissident slate. The filing also formally disclaims any group membership with the Garg Group, which could have legal implications for how the consent solicitation is counted. No new share transactions were reported, so the stake remains unchanged.
