Insights
Perceptive-linked investors report majority, but certify passive intent.
Perceptive Advisors, its Master Fund, C2 Life Sciences, and Joseph Edelman disclose beneficial ownership of 15,321,655 Adagio Medical shares, or 57.5% of the common stock. This includes warrants for 5,445,069 shares held by the Master Fund, calculated against 21,179,637 shares outstanding as of November 10, 2025.
The Master Fund directly holds 9,675,684 shares plus the warrants, while C2 holds 200,902 shares. Perceptive Advisors manages both vehicles and Edelman manages Perceptive Advisors, giving them shared voting and dispositive power rather than direct record ownership of most shares.
The group certifies the holdings were not acquired to change or influence control, consistent with a Schedule 13G passive filing rather than a 13D activist stance. Future company filings may clarify any changes in ownership levels or intent if positions are adjusted or reclassified.
