Ackman and his team will occasionally engage with management teams, but in the form of “long-term constructive engagement.” The fund has performed well, with a 10-year return of 380% net of fees as of March 31.

The vote for the tender offer passed with a 99.97% majority, leaving just 0.03% of voters who voted in opposition.
