The AIM-traded investment firm cited what it described as poor operating performance and weak governance at Ricardo, arguing the issues had led to significant shareholder value destruction.
Science Group said the upcoming general meeting represented a vote of no confidence in the current leadership, and was intended to initiate a turnaround aligned with shareholder interests.
Science Group acquired its holding at an average price of 239p per share, and said it could increase its stake further.
The company also published an open letter to Ricardo shareholders outlining its rationale and criticising Ricardo’s recent strategic update and communications.
At 0945 BST, shares in Science Group were down 0.84% at 461.1p.
