By April 2008, two large shareholders, the hedge funds Centaurus Capital and Pardus Capital, have proposed the election of the previously ousted ex-CEO of Atos Origin, Bernard Bourigeaud, and a shareholder rights activist to the company’s supervisory board. The present CEO has openly reprimanded the hedge funds for their activities. In February 2009, Atos Origin announced a new organisation and a TOP Program aimed at accelerating margin improvement by increasing efficiency and operating globally. [edit] History
