The Prague-based fund said it has increased its beneficial ownership to 7.34% in stock and options and argued XFS could be worth roughly $7.69 per share on its own methodology\u2014more than double Xerox\u2019s then share price for the whole company, in STARTEEPO\u2019s estimate. Bloomberg independently covered the same letter, the 7.34% stake framing, and the call for an XFS strategic review.<\/p>\n<p>An amended Schedule 13D reported Franti\u0161ek Bostl\u2019s beneficial ownership of 9,640,000 shares (7.34%), including the fund\u2019s 8,000,000 shares (6.09%) and call-option underlying shares, with an aggregate purchase cost of about $23.15 million. STARTEEPO said it remains supportive of Xerox\u2019s operational turnaround and Lexmark integration but wants clearer XFS disclosure on receivables, funding, spread, credit performance, and return on equity, plus a Board-led review with independent advisers ahead of 2028 debt maturities.<\/p>\n<p>This is an activist letter and 13D update, not a announced sale of XFS. Treat the 7.34% stake, the September 7 letter\u2019s review ask, and the $7.69-per-share XFS estimate as STARTEEPO\u2019s stated positions, corroborated on stake and ask by Bloomberg and the SEC filing summary. Do not invent Xerox\u2019s response, a banker mandate, or a deal process. The allocator object is public-equity activism aimed at captive-finance value recognition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HedgeCo.Net \u2014 STARTEEPO SICAV a.s. issued a September 7 letter and presentation to Xerox Holdings\u2019 board urging a formal strategic review of Xerox Financial Services (XFS), includi\u2026 <a class=\"continue_reading_link btn btn-mini\" href=\"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/09\/2026\/starteepo-urged-a-strategic-review-of-xerox-financial-services.html\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":95733,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16044],"tags":[1619,19374,19371,19372,19373],"class_list":["post-95734","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hedge-fund-strategies-2","tag-activist","tag-frantisek-bostl","tag-starteepo","tag-xerox","tag-xfs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95734","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=95734"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95734\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/95733"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=95734"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=95734"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=95734"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
