My point is that the role in determining the level of financial reward for the senior management team makes it more likely he will be listened to. Given enough money, you or I could buy 1.5% of Unilever but I'd want to be on a board where I'd be listened to and be able to have some degree of influence with the management.
So Trian/Peltz have 1.5% of Unilever.
Blackrock have 8%.
1.5% isn't even disclosable/significant shareholding.
not forgetting the Leverhulme trust holdings either etc.
So? The fact that that is the case makes it all the more likely that the Unilever Board has recognised that Peltz has a good track record and ought to at least be listened to. I have not heard that he has ever attempted to force his way onto the Board via his shareholding.
