That's up from 2.9 million Lexmark shares held by Iridian as of September 30.

Iridian says the "cornerstone" of its investing strategy is a focus on companies undergoing significant corporate change.

Lexmark recently named David Reeder chief financial officer, effective January 9. Its third-quarter earnings increased 13 percent on 3 percent revenue growth.

Lexmark expects to complete its slow exit of the inkjet printer business by the end of this year, in order to sharpen its focus on managed print services and software.

Top shareholders as of Lexmark's April proxy filing included Artisan Partners Holdings of Milwaukee at 8.8 percent and BlackRock, Inc. of New York at 7.4 percent.

Lexmark changed hands recently at $39.45, down 0.85 percent.
