Luxor Capital Group, managing 4.7 million shares (4.2% of RBA), criticized Ritchie Bros. for its $485 million financing deal with Starboard Value LP, suggesting it benefits Starboard at shareholders' expense. Following a recent debt raise, RBA attracted over $9 billion in demand, pricing an $800 million unsecured bond at 375 basis points, far lower than the terms of the Starboard deal which would need to offer over 1,500 basis points to match par value. Luxor argues that this highlights the questionable rationale behind the financing, calling for RBA shareholders to vote NO on the proposed IAA merger.
