Hedge fund urges AutoCanada to launch strategic review
Clearwater Capital Management has urged AutoCanada Inc (TSX: ACQ), a Canadian automobile dealership group, to initiate a strategic review. In a letter addressed to the chairman, Roland Keiper, president of the Toronto-based hedge fund, expressed concern about AutoCanada's first quarter performance, a concern he says is held by other shareholders. He said AutoCanada's board should form a special committee to consider options that offer the "potential opportunity to sell at an attractive premium and avoid the risk of further operating performance risks." AutoCanada is based in Edmonton.
