Two top executives of corporate raider Carl Icahn have been appointed to the Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FCX) board. The appointments follow FCX’s announcement that it is considering strategic alternatives for FM O&G, its U.S.-focused natural gas and oil exploration arm (see Daily GPI, Oct. 6). Icahn and his affiliates own about 100 million shares of FCX stock, which represents about 8.8% of the outstanding shares (see Daily GPI, Aug. 27). Icahn Enterprises LP’s Andrew Langham, who is general counsel, and Courtney Mather, managing director of Icahn Capital LP, have joined the board, which now is comprised of 11 members.
