Politan’s style is to amicably and quietly work with management to achieve its objectives. They do not send angry public letters, and they do not seek proxy fights. However, they will also not back down from a proxy fight if their hand is forced…Koffey has created significant value for shareholders at companies like Lowe’s… As board members, Politan could be very helpful to both management and shareholders in pursuing strategic projects. They will listen to management with an open mind, and if they agree with a project their support would give management cover with other shareholders to pursue it. However, at the end of the day they are economic animals and will do what is best for shareholders — if management cannot justify a project, Politan will be there to protect shareholder value.
