Elliott Management's Stake: Elliott Management has become one of the top three shareholders of Kansai Electric Power, holding a stake of 4% to 5%, and aims to enhance the company's long-term investment appeal by selling non-core assets and increasing profitability.
Proposed Changes: Elliott is advocating for Kansai Electric to raise its dividend from 60 yen to 100 yen per share and to increase share buybacks, identifying over 2 trillion yen in non-core assets that could be sold to support these initiatives.
