Activist investment firm Starboard Value LP disclosed in a regulatory filing ( SC 13D ) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) an 8.7% (5,225,000 shares) stake in MedAssets, Inc. (MDAS).
Starboard also reported to the SEC that it delivered on Monday a letter to MDAS' chairman and CEO, R. Halsey Wise, and the company's board. According to the SEC filing, Starboard expressed in the letter its belief, among other things, that MDAS is deeply undervalued relative to the quality of its assets and the earnings power of its core business. The investment firm also outlined in the letter a plan to create significant shareholder value by reducing MDAS' operating expenses, improving capital allocation, improving corporate governance and exploring all available strategic alternatives.
