Insights

Financial Analyst

Institutional stake of 5.6% is material but reported as passive; it changes ownership composition without signaling activism.

The reporting group—American Century Investment Management, American Century Companies and Stowers Institute—discloses beneficial ownership of 1,697,965 shares (5.6%). ACIM reports sole voting power for 1,524,650 shares and sole dispositive power for 1,697,965 shares. The use of Schedule 13G and the included certification indicate these holdings are reported as held in the ordinary course of business and not for the purpose of influencing control, which is important for assessing likely corporate engagement and near-term voting outcomes.

Corporate Governance Expert

Filing exceeds the 5% reporting threshold but contains an explicit certification of no intent to influence control.

The disclosure names ACIM (an investment adviser and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ACC) and Stowers Institute as reporting persons and documents aggregate beneficial ownership of 1,697,965 shares representing 5.6% of the class. The certification language and Schedule 13G form classify the position as passive under the filer’s view; there is no language in the filing indicating activist intent or coordination beyond the joint filing consent.
