The current director of the company Xerox, Ursula Burns (Ursula Burns), confirmed the division of the company and specified that the movement in this direction have been made long before Icahn intervention .
Over the past 12 months, shares of Xerox fell by about 30%. After news of Xerox division securities rose in price by 6%. One of the companies will be engaged in the release of copiers. The other will be engaged in services to corporate clients. By the way, in the service of the company Icahn won three seats on the board of directors.
