Analysis · NNBR · Technology
Activist investor Legion Partners trimmed its NN Inc. position through open-market stock sales and the termination of cash-settled swap agreements. The group sold over 432,000 shares at an average price near $3.90 and unwound swaps representing nearly 2.9 million shares. This move follows a pattern of activist exits—Corre Partners liquidated its stake in July—and comes just weeks after NN Inc. raised $75 million in a dilutive private placement. The sales suggest diminishing conviction among the activist investors who previously pushed for strategic changes.
