“CLCT was discussed extensively in our Q2-2020 quarterly letter so we will not rehash the thesis, but we believe a brief update on the position is warranted given significant events throughout the quarter.
On September 29th, Alta Fox reached a successful public settlement with CLCT. Since our original activism announcement through the settlement date, we have been pleased with significant positive change at the company:
• Five of the eight board members going forward are new
• The company has hired an investor relations firm
• The company will obtain coverage by at least one sell-side analyst within the next six months
• The company has committed to attending at least two investor conferences in 2021
• There is a new Chairman of the Board
• The Alta Fox Board appointee was chosen to lead a newly formed Strategy Committee
These are significant steps to unlock potential value and the stock is up over 100% since our original announcement of activism. CLCT remains a core position for Alta Fox today as we have increased confidence that CLCT’s leadership team can capitalize on the significant changes in the collectibles marketplace to drive value for shareholders.”
