Ackman and Richard McGuire, the managing member of Marcato Capital Management LLC in San Francisco, spent a total of $168.8 million to purchase 4.1 million common shares, according to a Schedule 13D filed today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Ackman invests in companies he deems undervalued and the urges changes he says will boost shareholder returns. Since last fall, he has bought stakes in Fortune Brands Inc., the maker of Jim Beam bourbon and Titleist golf balls, and J.C. Penney Co., the third-largest department store chain in the U.S.
