HP-COMPAQ: Big pension fund to oppose merger

Reuters
Published March 9, 2002

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The nation's biggest pension fund said Friday that it would vote against Hewlett-Packard Co.'s proposed $22 billion acquisition of Compaq Computer Corp. on grounds the deal would not bring long-term value to its portfolio.

The California Public Employees' Retirement System, or Calpers, owns only a small portion of the outstanding shares, but the giant pension fund's moves are closely watched among investors.

The decision comes days after the deal got a thumbs-up from Institutional Shareholder Services, an influential independent investment advisory firm, and looked likely to intensify the bitter fight over the deal.

These articles across the country will give the other fund managers something to contemplate over the weekend. The timing was great for Calpers. Thanks Calpers!
