Just yesterday, we reported Mario Gabelli disclosed a 6.7% stake in Mac-Gray. In an earlier filing, Alexander Knaster’s Pamplona Capital Management, one of the wealthiest hedge fund managers in the U.K., reported a 17.7% activist stake in the company.

All this fuss comes on the back of the merger, under the terms of which, Mac-Gray is to be acquired by CSC ServiceWorks for $524 million. Pampalona, which is a controlling shareholder of CSC, said that it is willing to pay up to $594 million to buy Mac-Gray.
