Carter's (NYSE:CRI), North America's largest children's apparel company, has implemented a limited duration stockholder rights agreement in response to RWWM, Inc.'s rapid accumulation of 16.86% of company stock. The plan, effective until September 21, 2026, was adopted after RWWM's undisclosed stock accumulation and lack of communication.
The rights agreement triggers if any entity acquires 15% ownership (or 20% for Schedule 13G filers) without Board approval. In such cases, existing shareholders can purchase additional Carter's shares at a 50% discount to market price, or the Board may exchange each right for one share of common stock. The plan aims to protect stockholders by ensuring fair treatment and preventing unauthorized control accumulation without appropriate premiums.
