Analysis · VOYA · Finance
TOMS Capital has moved its activist campaign from preliminary to definitive stage, setting a record date of September 30 and a meeting date of November 24 for a non-binding no-confidence vote against Voya's board and management. The filing also reveals TOMS increased its economic interest to approximately 4.65% from 4.47% previously disclosed, and that it has sent a Section 220 demand to inspect Voya's books and records to investigate whether the board breached fiduciary duties by allegedly misleading shareholders about the campaign. This escalation comes amid reported takeover interest in Voya and directly challenges the board's refusal to engage with potential acquirers.
