Sculptor Capital and related entities report beneficial ownership of 500,000 Class A ordinary shares of Churchill Capital Corp IX, representing 1.7% of the outstanding class based on 29,475,000 shares. The filing shows shared voting and dispositive power over the 500,000 shares and discloses the reporting structure: Sculptor Capital LP and Sculptor Capital II LP act as investment managers to the accounts holding the shares, while Sculptor Capital Holding Corp, Sculptor Capital Holding II LLC and Sculptor Capital Management, Inc. are parent or controlling entities. Cayman Islands and Delaware entities in the group are listed as holders and affiliates. The statement clarifies that ownership is reported on behalf of managed accounts rather than direct sole ownership.

Insights
TL;DR: A modest 1.7% position held via managed accounts; disclosure clarifies ownership chain but is not materially controlling.
The Schedule 13G shows a 500,000 share position equal to 1.7% of Class A shares, reported as shared voting and dispositive power across Sculptor entities. This is a passive beneficial ownership disclosure consistent with investment-adviser-managed accounts rather than an activist control stake. The filing uses the issuer share count of 29,475,000 to compute percentage ownership, which provides a clear denominator for investors. Impact on equity control is negligible given sub-5% ownership; the primary investor implication is transparency about who can influence voting through aggregated managed-account holdings.
TL;DR: Ownership chain and shared control are documented; no single reporting person asserts sole control of the shares.
The disclosure identifies multiple related reporting persons including Delaware and Cayman entities and explains the advisory and general partner relationships that justify treating the securities as beneficially owned by the Reporting Business Units. All listed reporting persons report 0 sole voting power and 500,000 shared voting power, indicating collective management influence rather than direct unilateral control. From a governance perspective this satisfies SEC transparency expectations for aggregated managed-account holdings without indicating an intent to change issuer control.
