    M2 Capital shareholder dispute

    M2 Capital Management and related investment funds publicly challenged CEWE's executive and supervisory boards. They sought a substantially higher dividend and alleged that management had failed in its responsibilities, while CEWE and major shareholders argued that the proposal could damage restructuring and the company's long-term strategy. The campaign was unsuccessful; Sebastian Freitag, who advised the funds and represented their interests on the supervisory board, resigned in February 2007.
