SEOUL -- A U.S. hedge fund is challenging a plan by South Korea's LG to spin off four affiliates through a new holding company for a relative of the Koo family, arguing that it will fail to create value for long-suffering minority shareholders.
Whitebox Advisors, an LG minority shareholder, sent a letter to LG's board on Tuesday asking South Korea's fourth-largest conglomerate to scrap its plan to spin off LG Hausys, LG MMA, Silicon Works and LG International & Pantos.
