North Tide Capital, having more than doubled its original investment in Tivity Health Inc. (NASDAQ:TVTY) over the last 3.5 years, just sold nearly half of its position in the company. Here is their explanation:

“On March 1, 2017, the Reporting Persons sold 2 million Shares of the Issuer in a block sale with a broker transaction. The Reporting Persons have undertaken the sales reported in this Amendment No. 7 to the Schedule 13D in large part to effectuate a rebalancing of North Tide’s portfolio in light of the significant appreciation in the Issuer’s stock price over the past year. The Reporting Persons continue to own a meaningful position of approximately 2.5 million Shares of the Issuer. Conan Laughlin, founder and portfolio manager of North Tide, was elected to the Issuer’s (formerly Healthways, Inc.) Board of Directors (the “Board”) in June 2014. He remains actively engaged as a director and Chair of the Compensation Committee of the Board and intends to stand for re-election to the Board at the Issuer’s Annual Meeting to be held in May 2017.”

Conan Laughlin’s North Tide first disclosed a 3 million share activist position in the fitness and healthcare company at the end of October 2013 when the shares were hovering around $10. North Tide Capital is one of the 140 activist hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey.
