New York Post reported that Carl Icahn is preparing to mount an activist battle against the company. The New York Post noted that "one well-known activist" has been buying shares of Time Warner. The publication added that "several sources" revealed that the activist investor is Carl Icahn and he is preparing to wage a battle to break up Time Warner.
