(Reuters) - U.S. activist investor ValueAct has built a stake of 5.2% in Stroeer, the German digital and outdoor advertiser said on Wednesday, following negative publicity around stock loans taken out by the company’s top investor.
Stroeer disclosed the stake, worth about $250 million as of Wednesday’s close, in a filing under German stock exchange rules requiring companies to report share holdings when they clear key thresholds - in this case a 5% barrier. ValueAct was not immediately available for comment.
Shares in Stroeer shed 10% on Feb. 22 after Manager magazine reported that CEO Udo Mueller and supervisory board member Dirk Stroeer had pledged a large number of shares as security against loans.
Poland's ruling nationalists on Tuesday said they would rewrite a proposal that would tax media advertising to ensure it is progressive and fair, after widespread criticism from media firms, the opposition and its own coalition partner.
