(Reuters) – Twitter Inc (TWTR.N) announced a deal with Elliott Management and private equity firm Silver Lake on Monday, handing both board seats after a month in which activist investors were said to be pushing for the removal of Chief Executive Officer Jack Dorsey.
Under the deal, Silver Lake will invest $1 billion, which the microblogging platform will use to fund a $2 billion repurchase program, Twitter said.
