Shah Capital Management and Shah Capital Opportunity Fund LP each report beneficial ownership of 600,000 ordinary shares of Cheer Holding, Inc., representing 2.47% of the class. Both filers state they have no sole voting or dispositive power and instead share voting and dispositive power over the 600,000 shares. The filing is made under Schedule 13G (Amendment No. 7) and declares the shares were acquired and are held in the ordinary course of business, not for the purpose of changing or influencing control. Signatures by Himanshu H. Shah appear for both entities with a filing event date of 10/03/2025 and signature date 10/07/2025.
Positive
Clear disclosure of beneficial ownership with numeric detail: 600,000 shares and 2.47%
Filing under Schedule 13G indicates the holders classify the position as passive, which is a lower regulatory scrutiny posture than active acquisition
Signatures provided with identifying officer name (Himanshu H. Shah) and addresses for regulatory traceability
Negative
Shared voting and dispositive power over the shares may complicate clarity on who directs voting decisions
No disclosure in this filing of any change in intentions or arrangements that could affect control, so investors must monitor for future amendments
Insights
Stake disclosure shows a passive 2.47% holding by related entities.
The filing reports that both Shah Capital Management and Shah Capital Opportunity Fund LP beneficially own 600,000 shares each, representing 2.47% of Cheer Holding's ordinary shares. The entities state shared voting and dispositive power and explicitly claim the position is held in the ordinary course of business.
Dependency and risk center on the passive claim: if any future filings alter the classification (for example, a Schedule 13D), investor attention should shift. Watch for additional amendments or related-party disclosures within the next regulatory reporting cycle.
Schedule 13G/A is correctly used for passive investors but requires monitoring for changes.
The statement includes the standard certification that the holdings are not intended to influence control and provides the required numeric breakdown of sole versus shared voting and dispositive power. Signatures and addresses are provided for identification and regulatory traceability.
Key items to monitor are any subsequent transactions or statements that would trigger conversion to Schedule 13D reporting or require disclosure of arrangements with other shareholders; such changes would be reflected in an amendment or a different filing.
