Sandler Capital Management owns 3,740,182 shares (4.1%), after selling 1,265,018 from Sept. 1 to Oct. 9 at $9.32 to $12.99 each. Sandler declared that its sales were related to maintaining the weighting of its Bare Escentuals position in its portfolio.

Sandler Capital Management sent a letter to the company's board expressing concern about what it believes to be a great disconnect between the value of Bare Escentuals' brand, on the one hand, and its stock price, on the other. Sandler suggests that the company: improve communications efforts with the investment community; utilize the strength of its balance sheet to buy back stock; and explore strategic alternatives including the sale of the company.
