JANA Partners LLC has criticized Freshpet (NASDAQ:FRPT) for its recent equity-linked capital raise announced on March 14, 2023. JANA expressed astonishment at the move, especially while Freshpet's shares are trading at less than 50% of their 52-week high. The firm criticized the board for opting for a larger capital raise than needed and for previously assuring investors against issuing equity due to the low stock price. JANA argues that this decision risks further damage to Freshpet’s credibility and suggests that significant board changes are needed, or the company should consider a sale.
