Positive

• Beneficial ownership of 472,535 shares is clearly disclosed

Negative

• Ownership remains below 5% (4.90%), limiting formal influence on corporate control

Insights

Investment Analyst

Geode holds a non-controlling 4.90% stake with sole control over 472,535 shares.

Holding 4.90% of the class signals a meaningful but non-controlling position that typically grants visibility without triggering mandatory activist disclosure requirements. The declaration of sole voting and dispositive power means Geode can direct votes and sales for these shares.

Key dependencies include whether holdings change above the 5% threshold or are aggregated with affiliates; monitor any future amendments or Form 13D filings within the near term (Q4 2025 to next quarter) if stake increases.

Compliance Counsel

Filing complies with Schedule 13G reporting for passive/ordinary-course holdings.

The statement explicitly certifies the securities were acquired and are held in the ordinary course of business and not for control purposes, consistent with Rule 13d-1(b) reporting. The exhibit identifies the relevant subsidiaries and their regulatory classifications: IA for the adviser and BK for the trust company.

Material next steps are procedural: watch for any amendments if ownership or intentions change, which would alter filing obligations and potentially require a different schedule.
