In 2012, Keith Meister, founder of hedge fund Corvex Management LP (“Corvex”), announced that Corvex owned 5% of the ADT shares. At the same time, Meister announced a target price for ADT of $61 per share and joined the Company’s board of directors. Subsequently, the board authorized a $2 billion share buyback. In November 2013, ADT agreed to repurchase 10.24 million shares from Corvex at $44.01 a share. Meister suddenly resigned from ADT’s board during this time period.
Prior to the markets opening on January 30, 2014, ADT issued a press release announcing its 2014 first quarter financial results being significantly lower than expectations based on the Company’s prior guidance. In reaction to these results, ADT stock dropped $6.41 or 17%, to $31.40.
