With CSX's Letter, Showdown With Hedge Fund Looms

CSX's board on Friday publicly backed management and rebutted criticisms by a hedge fund that the railroad operator has overspent and failed to improve its stock's performance.

In an unusually detailed letter to The Children's Investment Fund, known as TCI, CSX said that it had considered -- and rejected -- all of the fund's suggestions, including changes to its board and cutting back on spending. It also said that it has rejected the fund's more drastic suggestions, including a management-led buyout or a leveraged recapitalization.

"The Board respects TCI's right as a shareholder to express its opinions regarding CSX and will continue to keep an open mind," the board writes in its letter. "However, the Board believes that the approaches TCI has offered are not in the best interests of CSX shareholders and, in some cases, have damaged the industry."
