The billionaire investor has asked the company and the company's lawyers to clarify which shares constitute the "public shareholders." He called shareholders to request a fair vote by demanding that AmTrust immediately and publicly clarify whether any trusts, charitable organizations or aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces or nephews will be included in the public shareholder vote, by calling the company, at (212) 220-7120. Activist investor Icahn has filed a lawsuit against AmTrust and the family that controls the company, accusing them of trying to take the insurer private at the wrong time and at the wrong price.
