Each week Barron's has a 13D Filings column. 13Ds are filed when a fund (usually an activist hedge fund) accumulates more than 5% of a firm and is planning on pushing for change (e.g.a sale of the company, sale of certain assets, a share buyback, or a share dividend) to unlock value.

Carlson Capital said that it opposes the proposed acquisition of FiberNet by Zayo Group, calling Zayo's $11.45-a-share offer far below the company's intrinsic value. Carlson believes the true value exceeds $14.50 per share. Carlson Capital believes that FiberNet's stock value historically has been depressed, owing to factors such as limited trading liquidity. FiberNet has said that it will solicit superior proposals from third parties until June 17. Carlson Capital currently holds a 10.1% stake in the company.

Elliott Associates and Endologix entered into an agreement allowing Elliott to acquire up to 20% of the company's common stock. In the case of ELGX, the board had rejected Elliott's previous offer to acquire the company. By insisting on prior approval by the company of prospective share acquisitions up to 20% of total ownership, Elliott is reserving its right to buy the company in the future. Without such approval, Delaware law would restrict an acquisition of the company by Elliott for up to three years.
