Blue Ridge Capital Discloses Platform Specialty Products Position

John Griffin's hedge fund firm Blue Ridge Capital has filed a 13G with the SEC and disclosed a position in Platform Specialty Products (PAH).  Per the filing, Blue Ridge now owns 7.72% of the company with 8 million shares.

As we detailed previously, Bill Ackman also owns a PAH stake.  The company was formed to acquire companies and their first deal was MacDermid, a specialty chemicals manufacturer.  Shares of PAH are newly listed on the NYSE. 

It's unclear if Blue Ridge owned a stake in Platform Specialty Products before they listed on the NYSE like Ackman did.
