Insights
Dimensional holds a modest, disclosed passive stake of 5.2% via client funds.
The position of 4,215,764 shares is material only because it crosses the 5% reporting threshold, which triggers public disclosure and signals institutional interest. The filing clarifies ownership is through client Funds and Dimensional disclaims beneficial ownership, consistent with advisory roles.
The key dependencies are fund mandates and client flows that determine whether the stake changes; watch periodic filings for shifts in share count or voting power within the next reporting cycle.
Sole voting authority on 4,105,918 shares may affect proxy outcomes if exercised.
While Dimensional disclaims beneficial ownership, its reported sole voting power means it can direct votes for a large block of shares held in managed funds, which could be decisive in close governance matters. This is a common arrangement where advisers vote on behalf of fund clients.
Monitor upcoming shareholder meetings and any proxy contests; changes in voting declarations or engagement letters within the next 12 months would be the most relevant developments to track.
