Over in London, activist hedge fund Palliser Capital’s fuzzy treatment of some pretty basic English words continues to feature in its campaign for Rio Tinto’s dual-listing unification.
It has introduced a shareholder resolution calling for Rio’s board to review (and ultimately collapse) its current dual-company structure.
