Ackman Ties $9 Billion Fortune to Public Markets With IPO bloomberg.com/news/articles/…


NEW: The Chicago Teachers Union is fighting to shut down Chicago Public Schools on May 1. If the school board agrees, Chicago would be the only major city in the country to proactively block students from attending public school on May Day.



A BDC can only issue shares below NAV if it has prior shareholder authorization. This shareholder approval for dilutive share issuance is required annually. In the current market environment, most BDCs with good corporate governance are aggressively buying back shares at a discount to NAV, given it is highly accretive, and wouldn't dare even ask shareholders for permission to dilute. However, there is the odd BDC with poor corporate governance that tries to get its shareholders to approve dilutive share issuance below NAV. FS KKR Capital $FSK is one of the most heavily discounted BDCs, trading -50% below NAV. It has the gall to ask shareholders for permission to issue shares below NAV. It is highly likely that this vote will fail miserably.
