Just when you thought the war between Bill Ackman of Pershing Square and Carl Icahn of Icahn Capital had been settled and the soldiers sent home to tend to their crops, a shot across the demilitarized zone by Ackman has reignited tensions. We reported earlier today on a Wall Street Journal story which claimed that Icahn was reportedly looking to sell some of his Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE:HLF) stake, using investment bank Jefferies Group to seek buyers over the past month, which supposedly included a group that Ackman was involved with.
In an interview on CNBC later today, Ackman verified that he was contacted by Jefferies Group around August 4 or 5 about buying some of Icahn’s 18.32% stake in Herbalife, which he initially rebuffed. However, Ackman said that he later considered buying a few million shares as part of a consortium of buyers, though he claims he would’ve sold the shares the next day. According to Ackman, he would’ve bought the shares for the purpose of hastening Icahn’s departure from the stock, which he believes is providing it with a level of security.
“This is a confidence game. Carl is what creates the confidence in the company. If Carl sells, it can accelerate the demise of the company,” Ackman said. “With Carl exiting, I think the thing is over, and over quickly. The sooner he sells the better.” Ackman later stated that he believes that Icahn thinks that Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE:HLF) “is toast” and wants to get out before the shares go down.
Shares of Herbalife did indeed go down, falling by more than 2% during Ackman’s CNBC interview to more than 5% in the red at one point. However, it appears that Ackman’s dream of an Icahn exit and a tumbling Herbalife stock was nothing but that: a dream. In the filing below, released this afternoon, Icahn blasted Ackman’s comments, saying that he has an obsession with Herbalife that is blinding him to the facts and criticizing his nerve to go on television and purport to know what Icahn’s thoughts and intentions are. Icahn further stated that he has never given Jefferies Group an order to seek buyers for any of his Herbalife shares.
Just to rub salt into Ackman’s fresh wound, Icahn also bought slightly more than 2.3 million Herbalife shares today at $59.31 per share, increasing the average price of his position and bestowing a huge vote of confidence on Herbalife. “I continue to believe in Herbalife: it’s a great model that creates a great number of jobs for people,” Icahn said in his statement. Shares have jumped by 3.80% in the after-hours session, erasing the day’s losses. Icahn now owns 19.30 million Herbalife shares, lifting his ownership stake in the company to 20.78%.
It seems rather unlikely that Ackman fabricated the story about being contacted by Jefferies Group, as there would be no long-term benefit to doing so, but we’ll have to wait and see what Ackman has to say in his defense. What we do know as the dust settles from the latest clash between the two investing titans is that this battle was a clear win for Mr. Icahn.

SCHEDULE 13D
Item 1. Security and Issuer
This statement constitutes Amendment No. 8 to the Schedule 13D relating to the Common Shares, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), issued by Herbalife Ltd. (the “Issuer”), and hereby amends the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 14, 2013, as amended by Amendment Number 1 thereto, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2013, Amendment Number 2 thereto, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2013, Amendment Number 3 thereto, filed with the SEC on March 7, 2013, Amendment Number 4 thereto, filed with the SEC on May 7, 2013, Amendment Number 5 thereto, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2014, Amendment Number 6 thereto, filed with the SEC on March 24, 2014, and Amendment Number 7 thereto, filed with the SEC on July 15, 2016, to furnish the additional information set forth herein. All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by replacing it in its entirety with the following:
The Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of, in the aggregate, 19,304,683 Shares. The aggregate purchase price of the Shares purchased by the Reporting Persons collectively was approximately $766.0 million (including commissions and premiums). The source of funding for these Shares was the general working capital of the respective purchasers. The Shares are held by the Reporting Persons in margin accounts together with other securities. Such margin accounts may from time to time have debit balances. Part of the purchase price of the Shares was obtained through margin borrowing.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by the addition of the following:
On August 26, 2016, Carl C. Icahn issued a statement regarding the Issuer (the “Statement”). A copy of the Statement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
The Reporting Persons may, from time to time and at any time, acquire additional Shares and/or other equity, debt or other securities, notes or instruments (collectively, “Securities”) of the Issuer in the open market or otherwise and reserve the right to dispose of any or all of their Securities in the open market or otherwise, at any time and from time to time, and to engage in any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Securities.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Items 5 (a) and (b) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended by replacing them in their entirety with the following:
(a) The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 19,304,683 Shares, representing approximately 20.78% of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares (based upon the 92,906,300 Shares stated to be outstanding as of July 28, 2016 by the Issuer in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016).
(b) For purposes of this Schedule 13D:
High River has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with regard to 3,860,937 Shares. Each of Hopper, Barberry and Mr. Icahn has shared voting power and shared dispositive power with regard to such Shares. Icahn Master has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with regard to 6,274,424 Shares. Each of Icahn Offshore, Icahn Capital, IPH, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, Icahn Enterprises GP, Beckton and Mr. Icahn has shared voting power and shared dispositive power with regard to such Shares. Icahn Partners has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with regard to 9,169,322 Shares. Each of Icahn Onshore, Icahn Capital, IPH, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, Icahn Enterprises GP, Beckton and Mr. Icahn has shared voting power and shared dispositive power with regard to such Shares.
Each of Hopper, Barberry and Mr. Icahn, by virtue of their relationships to High River (as disclosed in Item 2), may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the “Act”) the Shares which High River directly beneficially owns. Each of Hopper, Barberry and Mr. Icahn disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares for all other purposes.
