Waterton agrees not to increase stake Hudbay Minerals to more than 15%

Private equity firm Waterton Global Resource Management Inc on Tuesday said it agreed to not increase its stake in Hudbay Minerals Inc to more than 15% after the private equity firm settled its drawn out proxy contest with the Canadian miner.

Hudbay last week settled a board battle with its second largest shareholder, Waterton, to elect a slate of 11 board members that includes some of the nominees proposed by both parties.
