Billionaire investor Nelson Peltz stepped up his drive to squeeze more value out of his holdings by seeking five seats on the board of H.J. Heinz Co. a day after getting Wendy’s International Inc. to accept his choices.
The company said Peltz, who controls less than 5% of Heinz shares, notified it that he wanted five directors on the board of the ketchup maker, including himself and professional golfer Greg Norman.
Heinz shares rose 88 cents to $38.23.
