Rhea-AI Summary

Mason Capital Management, holding 2.1% of Grifols (GRFS) Class A shares, sent a critical letter to the Board highlighting corporate governance failures and value destruction. The letter opposes a rumored Brookfield transaction that allegedly undervalues the company. Mason criticizes the Board's history of poor capital allocation, citing €4.5 billion in debt-financed acquisitions since 2014 that only added €136 million in EBITDA. The investor points out conflicts of interest, particularly regarding board member Tomas Daga and Osborne Clarke Spain's involvement in multiple transactions. Mason calls for immediate implementation of corporate governance reforms and suggests the company is worth €20+ per share versus the rumored €12 Brookfield offer.
