Activist, Pulte, Sends Letter to Virtu Board of Directors and Commits up to $100 Million in Potential Take Private by Apollo
We are supporting Apollo Global Management in their potential buyout of Virtu because a professional owner like Apollo could take the undermanaged company from a reported 25 Sharpe Ratio at Virtu down to a 2-3 Sharpe Ratio, like BOCA RATON, Fla., Dec. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Pulte Family Office, a current activist shareholder in Virtu Financial and the founding family of one of the nation's largest homebuilders PulteGroup, issued the following statement:
美国佛罗里达州博卡拉顿，2024年12月20日 /PRNewswire/ -- 普得家族办公室，当前Virtu金融的积极股东及美国最大的房屋建筑商之一普得集团的创始家族，发布以下声明：
"Since privately and then publicly calling for the sale of Virtu Financial, The Pulte Family Office and Pulte Capital have been inundated with interest. We have heard from many investors who share our belief that current CEO Doug Cifu is not focused on building a materially larger business and is spending precious time tweeting on items not related to the core operations of the Company.
“自私下及随后公开呼吁出售Virtu金融以来，普得家族办公室和普得资本收到了大量关注。我们听到了许多投资者的声音，他们与我们分享了这样的信念：当前的首席执行官道格·西夫并没有专注于建设一个显著更大的业务，而是花费宝贵的时间在与公司核心运营无关的推特上发声。”
After careful consideration of all options, we are most compelled to support one prospective buyer who has already spent significant time on acquisition due diligence, Apollo Global Management.
“经过仔细考虑所有期权，我们最愿意支持一位已经在收购尽职调查上花费大量时间的潜在买家，阿波罗全球管理。”
We are supporting Apollo Global Management in their potential buyout of Virtu because a professional owner like Apollo could take the undermanaged company from a reported 25 Sharpe Ratio at Virtu down to a 2-3 Sharpe Ratio, like Jane Street and Citadel, and print money.
“我们支持阿波罗全球管理可能对Virtu的收购，因为像阿波罗这样的专业所有者可以将管理不善的公司从在Virtu报告的25的夏普比率降到2-3的夏普比率，就像Jane Street和Citadel，并能创造丰厚的利润。”
We believe Virtu Financial in the hands of a shrewd owner like Apollo is in the best interests of shareholders, and therefore we are prepared to invest up to $100 million into a transaction with Apollo and strongly support the sale of the asset to Apollo."
“我们相信，Virtu金融在像阿波罗这样的精明所有者手中将对股东的利益最为有利，因此我们准备向与阿波罗的交易投资高达10000万，强烈支持将该资产出售给阿波罗。”
