On September 3, 2019, Elliot sent their letter to AT&T's Board of Directors. They indicated they had a $3.2 billion investment in the company. At a price per share of $35.38 at that time that equated to about 90,446,600 shares. (Their purchase cost per share could be slightly different depending on the actual timing of their purchases prior to the announcement). The share price is now $29.57 resulting in a loss per share for Elliot of ($5.81). or a total loss to date on their investment of approximately $526 million.
I can only guess but I would think Elliot is very unhappy about that. I think Elliot is going to really push on the Board for much management change before year-end and JS will not get the Board chair. What do other folks think?
