Last month after Icahn revealed his stake and said he would discuss various ideas to increase shareholder value with Crown representatives, the company's board set a shareholder rights plan, commonly called a poison pill, to defend against Icahn's recent purchase of an 8.5% stake in the company.
The rights plan has a 10 percent ownership trigger. Crown said it would issue one right for each outstanding share of Crown common stock to shareholders of record on the close of business on Nov. 17, 2022.
Icahn is Crown's second-largest shareholder, and the activist wants the company to sell noncore assets and repurchase stock.
The rights plan expires on Nov. 3, 2023
