Atticus was instrumental in the merger of Arcelor with Mittal Steel Company.[1]

Atticus, from a minority shareholder position, prevented Phelps Dodge from merging with INCO Ltd in 2006 because it insisted on a share buy-back scheme rather than the merger investment.[1]

In 2006, Atticus was rumoured to have $10 billion under administration.[1]
