TWITTER IN DEAL WITH SILVER LAKE, ELLIOTT; DORSEY STILL CEO
Twitter says it’s reached an investment deal
with Silver Lake and Elliott Management that
will keep Jack Dorsey as the social media
company’s CEO.
Twitter Inc. said that Silver Lake will make a $
billion investment in the company. That money,
along with cash on hand, is expected to be put
toward a $2 billion stock buyback.
Elliott Management Corp., which owns about 4%
of Twitter’s stock, will get one seat on Twitter’s
board. Silver Lake will also get a board seat.
Prior media reports had suggested Elliott was
planning to nominate four people to Twitter’s
board and oust Dorsey.
