Key Points

  • Activist Nick Bolton wants Magellan to wind up a $2.65 billion fund 
  • He’s called a meeting if unitholders, but Magellan says it may not be legal
  • At stake is the value of millions of options bought by Mr Bolton 

The battle between Magellan and activist Nick Bolton is headed to court after the fund manager decided to legally challenge Mr Bolton’s right to convene a meeting of unitholders in its closed end fund.

Magellan asked the New South Wales Supreme Court to rule whether Mr Bolton’s meeting request was valid.
