This critical vote is scheduled for November 6, 2025, and has been a focal point for corporate governance discussions.<\/p>\n<p>In the asset management sector, activist investor <strong>Trian Partners<\/strong> is reportedly collaborating with <strong>General Catalyst<\/strong> to pursue a buyout of <strong>Janus Henderson (<a href=\"\/stock\/JHG\">JHG<\/a>)<\/strong>. The proposal, which is non-binding, suggests an offer of <strong>$46 per share<\/strong>, valuing Janus Henderson at approximately <strong>$7 billion<\/strong>. Janus Henderson has confirmed receiving this acquisition proposal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goldman Sachs (<a href=\"\/stock\/GS\">GS<\/a>)<\/strong> is actively seeking a substantial <strong>$10 billion mandate<\/strong> from <strong>Kuwait\u2019s wealth fund<\/strong>. This initiative is part of the Wall Street bank&#39;s broader efforts to bolster its private markets strategy and enhance its competitive standing in the Middle East, following the recent opening of a new office in Kuwait.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <strong>Philip Morris (<a href=\"\/stock\/PM\">PM<\/a>)<\/strong> has filed for a <strong>two-part notes offering<\/strong>, though the specific size of this debt issuance has not been disclosed in its SEC filing.
