Corporate Governance Specialist

The filing identifies a >5% shareholder that could matter for shareholder votes.

BlackRock's reported sole voting and dispositive powers imply control over voting directions for those shares. The filing also flags iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF as a separate >5% interest, which can affect aggregated institutional influence.

Monitor proxy-related disclosures around record dates or contested votes; any coordinated activity would surface in later filings.

Schedule 13G/A regulatory

"In accordance with SEC Release No. 34-39538"

A Schedule 13G/A is an amended public filing with the U.S. securities regulator that updates a previous Schedule 13G, disclosing when an individual or group holds a substantial (typically over 5%) stake in a company and is claiming a passive, non‑controlling intent. Investors monitor these updates because rising or falling holdings can signal changing confidence, potential future moves, or shifts in voting power — like watching a public ledger where large shareholders quietly adjust their positions.

beneficially owned financial

"Amount beneficially owned: 3321688"

Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.

sole dispositive power financial

"Sole Dispositive Power 3,321,688.00"

Sole dispositive power is the exclusive legal authority to decide what happens to a security — for example, whether to sell, transfer, or retain shares — without needing anyone else’s permission. Investors care because it signals who truly controls the economic outcome of an investment: like holding the only key to a safe, the holder can realize gains or losses and may trigger regulatory reporting, insider rules, or influence over corporate ownership.
