Divisar Capital Management, LLC and Steven Baughman report shared beneficial ownership of 4,229,362 shares of ADTRAN Holdings, Inc. common stock, representing 5.3% of the class. The filing states Divisar acts as investment adviser to two funds that hold the shares and that Mr. Baughman, as CEO with voting and investment discretion, may be deemed beneficial owner. All reported shares are held with shared voting and dispositive power; neither reporting person claims sole voting or dispositive power. The ownership percentage is calculated from 80,052,167 shares outstanding as referenced in the filing.
Positive
Clear disclosure of the exact number of shares (4,229,362) and the calculated ownership percentage (5.3%)
Ownership structure disclosed showing shares held through funds with shared voting and dispositive power, aligning with regulatory expectations
Negative
No detail on acquisition timing or transaction history, so changes in position cannot be inferred from this filing
No statement of intent regarding engagement, nominations, or plans that could affect governance
Insights
TL;DR: A 5.3% stake from an adviser signals a meaningful minority position without sole control, potentially indicating active monitoring or engagement.
Divisar's 4.23M-share holding equals 5.3% of ADTN's 80.05M shares outstanding, a position large enough to attract investor attention but below levels that grant unilateral control. The shared voting and dispositive power suggests the stake is held through funds managed by Divisar rather than directly, consistent with an investment-adviser reporting structure. This filing clarifies ownership but includes no transaction details, changes in position, or stated intentions regarding governance.
TL;DR: Ownership is material for disclosure and governance tracking but shows no explicit control attempt or group formation.
The report discloses shared authority over 4,229,362 shares and includes the required disclaimer by the underlying funds. No group affiliation or solicitation is claimed. The certification affirms the securities were acquired in the ordinary course of business and not to influence control. For governance purposes, this is a routine but material disclosure identifying a sizable institutional investor and the relevant voting/dispositive arrangements.
