LONDON (ShareCast) - (ShareCast News) - Billionaire hedge-fund activist investor Bill Ackman has amassed a sizeable minority stake in payrolls processing company ADP.
According to reports, Ackman's Pershing Square Capital had already built up an 8% stake in his target via derivatives.
The news followed a 1 August demand from the investor for ADP to extend a 10 August deadline for nominating board members, in order for him to nominate himself and four others to the firm's board which had been duly rebuffed by ADP.
Ackman had reportedly also asked for the head of ADP's chief executive officer, a demand that had also been rejected.
As of 1252 BST shares in ADP were higher by 2.885 at $114.99.
