Keith Meister, founder and chief investment officer at Corvex Management LP., speaks during the Sohn Investment Conference in New YorkCorvex Management LP disclosed on Monday that it owns 9.9 percent of Pandora Media Inc and urged the internet music streaming company to explore a sale instead of pursuing a "costly and uncertain business plan."
