Jan 13 (Reuters) - Boaz Weinstein's Saba Capital, which
holds about a 13.5% stake in London-focused flexible
office-space provider Workspace, sent a letter on
Tuesday urging the company to pursue a managed wind-down.
"Considering the company's (Workspace) persistent trading
discount, refinancing challenges, and structural impediments in
its shareholder base, the current model no longer represents the
best path to value creation," U.S. activist investor Saba said
in the letter.
Saba also accused Workspace of having a highly concentrated
shareholder register, with a small number of holders controlling
a "disproportionately large portion" of the shares.
The London-listed company's shares had fallen 7.6% in the
last 12 months as of Tuesday's market close.
Workspace did not immediately respond to a Reuters request
for a comment.
The British firm reported a pretax loss of 71.1 million
pounds ($95.46 million) for the six months to September 30 as
budget uncertainty led to delays in leasing decisions by small-
and medium-sized businesses.
