TAL Files Amendment: 52,656 ARCO Shares Sole Voting, 349,948 Aggregate

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Teachers Advisors, LLC filed Amendment No. 11 to Schedule 13G/A reporting holdings in Arcos Dorados Holdings Inc.-A (CUSIP G0457F107). The filing lists two reported holdings figures: a table showing 52,656 shares (stated as 0.04% of the class) for which TAL has sole voting and dispositive power, and Item 4(a) reporting an aggregate beneficial ownership of 349,948 shares (stated as 0.27% of the class) with a cross-reference to Exhibit A. The filing states these shares were acquired in the ordinary course of business and not for the purpose of changing or influencing control of the issuer.

The filing provides TAL's address in New York and its Delaware organization, identifies related entities (NAM and TCIM) that may be deemed beneficial owners of small amounts, and is signed by Stuart R. Brunet, Managing Director and Chief Compliance Officer, dated 09/04/2025.

Positive

• Disclosure filed by a regulated investment adviser showing transparency about share ownership
• Firm certifies shares were acquired in the ordinary course of business and not to influence control
• Signed by Chief Compliance Officer, indicating formal compliance review

Negative

• Inconsistent reported totals appear in the filing (52,656 shares versus 349,948 shares), requiring reconciliation
• Holdings are small (0.04% and 0.27% reported), indicating limited influence on issuer governance

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Passive disclosure of minority holdings with no intent to influence control; holdings are immaterial to corporate control.

The filing documents that Teachers Advisors, LLC holds minority positions in Arcos Dorados with sole voting control over 52,656 shares and an aggregate beneficial ownership figure of 349,948 shares (0.27%). TAL asserts the positions were acquired in the ordinary course of business and are not intended to affect control. For investors, these holdings are small relative to a typical public float and unlikely to drive corporate actions or prompt regulatory scrutiny. The coexistence of two reported amounts suggests investors should consult Exhibit A or the filing history for allocation among managed funds.

Compliance / Risk Analyst

TL;DR: Filing appears compliant but contains multiple reported totals that warrant reconciliation.

The Schedule 13G/A is executed by the firm’s CCO and includes the required certification that the securities are held in the ordinary course of business. The document also identifies affiliated advisers (NAM and TCIM) that may be deemed beneficial owners of small share amounts. The presence of both 52,656 shares and 349,948 shares in the filing is unusual and should be reconciled via Exhibit A or prior amendments to confirm accounting among Funds, Life Funds, VA-1, and separate accounts. No statements in the filing indicate an intent to change control, reducing regulatory risk.
