Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: AQR affiliates report a meaningful passive stake of 485,000 shares (5.63%) with shared voting and dispositive power.

The Schedule 13G shows three AQR entities collectively reporting beneficial ownership of 485,000 Class A shares, representing 5.63% of ChampionsGate Acquisition Corp's Class A ordinary shares. The filing records no sole voting or dispositive power and records only shared power, indicating coordinated reporting across affiliates. The included certification states the position is held in the ordinary course and not to influence control, consistent with Schedule 13G usage for passive investors.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Ownership exceeds 5% and is disclosed as a passive holding; shared controls are reported across AQR entities.

The document identifies the reporting parties and class of security, and it documents that all three AQR-related reporters claim shared voting and shared dispositive authority for the full 485,000-share position while disclaiming sole authority. This alignment among affiliates and the certification language suggests a passive disclosure rather than an intent to seek control, which is material information for governance analysis because it clarifies the nature of the stake and the lack of a claimed control agenda in this filing.
