Why I Have Contempt For Talbot’s Management And Board
By Amit Chokshi:
It takes a special type of management team and board to reach new lows for corporate governance when such “benchmarks” of fiduciary duty and competence are established by companies such as Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and MF Global (MFGLQ.PK) but the executive team and Board at Talbots (TLB) is working hard to exceed those benchmarks. As it currently stands, Sycamore Partners (SP) – a significant shareholder of TLB – is offering to buy out the entire company for at least $ 3/share. This is good news in so far as that it validates there is considerable value above the $ 1.56 closing price the day before the unsolicited offer. However, it also demonstrates how much value TLB’s management team and board have destroyed in recent years, particularly in 2011, and the need for shareholders to demand more either in terms of an entirely new board/executive team and/or buyout from SP.

After recently reviewing Ares Capital (ARCC), the largest of the group, Apollo Investment (AINV), Prospect Capital (PSEC), and Solar Capital (SLRC) – which has been the one with the best alignment with outside shareholders – I am following with Fifth Street Finance (FSC), which has a market cap
