Event-Driven Funds - Squeeze-Out litigation in Europe

Fellow Monkeys,

I'm trying to gather a list of event-driven funds in Europe, especially those taking minority positions in merger targets and then litigating for higher squeeze-out payments (or waiting for others to do so).

1) How would you categorize this? "Activist merger arbitrage" as a sub-set of event-driven?

2) Please help me populate my list: So far I confirmed the following funds to do this in Europe:
- Perry Capital
- Davidson Kempner
- DE Shaw
- York Capital
- Elliott

3) Can you confirm / rule out any of the following funds I found in various event-driven / special situations listings? Please comment if they engage in said practices and if so, in Europe?
- Point Frederick
- Glenhill
- Glenview
- Farallon
- Anchorage
- Third Point
- Corvex
- Marcato
- First Eagle (formerArnhold Bleichroeder)
- Polygon Global
- Brevan Howard
- Och-Ziff
- Highbridge
- GLG Partners
- Pershing Square
- Owl Creek
- any others you know of?

Thanks.
I'll SB as much and many as I can.

Had not yet. It offers a few more potential hits, but with the generic descriptions it rarely provides enough detail for this sprecific search (Europe / squeeze-out) I'm conducting. Thanks anyway

This actually leads me to two suggestions/requests: 1) Adding another layer to the company database: Enabling users to narrow searches to specific fields within HF, AM, IB, respectively (HF style, AM asset class). Would be a great help given the vast number of firms out there. 2) Beyond the AUM bands, can you provide a "> than", "
