Whirlpool receives letter from Appaloosa LP regarding equity issuance and management strategy
WHR
Management Change
M&A
- Appaloosa LP, a significant shareholder, sent a letter to Whirlpool Corporation's Board of Directors criticizing the company's recent equity issuance at a very high cost of capital (seemingly exceeding 10%), which resulted in large, unnecessary shareholder dilution.
- Appaloosa also stated that Whirlpool has not properly utilized tariffs instituted by the Trump administration by seeking partnerships or mergers with disadvantaged foreign companies, which they believe would enhance equity value and create American jobs.
- The letter suggests that Whirlpool's management is primarily focused on job preservation and entrenchment, rather than maximizing shareholder value for shareholders.
- Appaloosa urged the Board to fulfill its fiduciary responsibilities and consider inviting domestic or foreign entities to take an interest in Whirlpool to increase shareholder value and create American jobs.
