Engineering giant GKN says it will sell off non-core parts of its business and return £2.5bn in cash to its shareholders over the next three years.
GKN's new strategy and transformation plan includes the sale of various businesses over the next 12-18 months.
Melrose said the plan was "long on adjectives and promises but desperately short on detail".
Last month, GKN rejected the bid from Melrose, saying it "fundamentally undervalued" the firm.
GKN chief executive Anne Stevens said: "The new strategy brings clarity, accountability and focus to GKN's world class businesses and will allow the group to attain world class financial performance."
"Too often we pursued growth at the expense of returns, this will no longer be the case. The new strategy brings discipline, both financial and operational."
However Melrose has argued that it could "deliver significantly greater benefits" to GKN's shareholders than the current management team.
