Insights
Harraden reports a 5.16% passive stake, signaling engagement but not control intent.
The filing shows Harraden-affiliated funds collectively beneficially own 2,368,292 Cantor Equity Partners IV Class A shares, equal to 5.16% of the class. Control of these holdings is exercised through a layered structure of Delaware partnerships and LLCs managed by Frederick V. Fortmiller, Jr.
The certification that the position is not held to change or influence control frames this as a passive investment under Schedule 13G rather than an activist campaign. Any future shift to a control-related purpose would typically require amended disclosures, so later ownership or filing changes would clarify evolving intentions.
