It's official, folks. Carl Icahn (or any investor for that matter) will not be able to acquire more than 20% of Nuance Communications' (NUAN) common shares outstanding without permission from the board of directors. As a result, Carl Icahn's activist investing spirit could be considerably crimped. Currently, Icahn owns approximately 16% of the voice-recognition company.
Additionally, there has been some speculation surrounding Icahn's recent stake in Apple (AAPL 0.52%) and how he could be pushing for Apple to make a bid for Nuance.
