That's incorrect. PIF's stake was as of 3/26 while CCL did the equity deal on 4/1. I don't know if they participated in that equity deal but they would have to disclose if they increased ownership. The equity deal was only $500mm vs $5.75bn in converts and 1st lien bonds. Non-insiders did not know PIF invested in the company when they raised this recent $ so it's not like that was some sort of anchor. Also, given their recent investments, PIF owning a significant stake in anything should make you run the other way.
- toomuchtodo 7y agoI'll have to go through the disclosures before I speak more confidently about the recent equity activity in CCL, but PIF did very recently disclose they acquired 43.5 million shares, a 8.2% stake in CCL. This makes PIF their second-largest investor. This surely contributed in CCLs ability to do a rapid raise right after. I corrected my terminology faux pax above.
- whatok 7y agoI'm telling you as a market participant that PIF's stake was not known at the time. Here's a link to CCL on EDGAR: https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company=carnival+cruise+lines&owner=exclude&action=getcompany https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company=carnival+cr... The filing date for the 13G was yesterday.

- toomuchtodo 7y agoYou're right, I stand corrected. Thanks for the links.
