Fund threatens Deutsche Boerse LSE bid

TCI Fund Management, an investment company claiming more than a 5% share in Deutsche Boerse, has called an Extraordinary General Meeting of Deutsche Boerse shareholders to recommend against any further bid for the London Stock Exchange.

Under German law, any company with 5% more shareholding in a public company can call an EGM. However, it is uncertain whether it will be able to forward compelling arguments to persuade against supporting a bid for LSE.

After Deutsche Boerse's intial bid was rejected last month, markets have expected Deutsche Boerse to return with an increased bid.
