ValueAct Capital Management LP's CEO Jeffrey Ubben, speaking at a conference closed to the media and off the record, Mr. Ubben said that large companies can be vulnerable to activists, but it's tough for activists to win a proxy fight against a giant company unless shareholder discontent is particularly high, according to people familiar with his remarks. DuPont shareholders' views might not rise to that level of discontent, given all the steps CEO Ellen Kullman has taken to transform the company, said Mr. Ubben.
