Canadian pension funds face scrutiny in shareholder dispute over $3 billion dilution
Summary
FNZ faces a shareholder dispute after minority investors alleged that recent capital raises unfairly diluted their stakes. The company raised about US$1.5 billion across debt and preference-share financings to support expansion across Europe, North America, and Asia. Employee shareholders plan a class action in New Zealand and claim the financing terms favored large institutional investors. FNZ rejects the allegations and says the capital was necessary to secure the company’s survival and support clients and growth.
