Equity ownership & filings analyst

Passive 13G: Goldman Sachs reports a 5.8% AEXA stake.

This Schedule 13G indicates Goldman Sachs Group and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC hold 2,011,370 AEXA Class A shares, or 5.8%, tied to an event on 09/30/2025. The powers are shared for both voting and disposition, with zero sole authority reported.

13G filings are typically passive and include a certification that the position is held in the ordinary course and not to influence control. That framing suggests administrative disclosure rather than a strategic control move.

Actual impact depends on future ownership changes or amendments. Subsequent disclosures may update the stake or filing status if thresholds are crossed or intent changes.
