Insights
ACK reports a passive 5.13% position via shared voting/dispositive power.
ACK Asset Management LLC, together with managing members Richard Meisenberg and John Reilly, are reported as having shared voting and shared dispositive power over 710,200 shares. The filing is presented on a Schedule 13G, which typically signals a passive investing intent under SEC rules.
Because the filing disclaims direct ownership and classifies the position as shared power, subsequent filings (e.g., a Schedule 13D) would be required if activism or acquisition intent changes. The signature date is 04/15/2026.
Position size (5.13%) is material enough for disclosure but below typical activist thresholds.
The reported 5.13% holding obligates public disclosure under Section 13 rules and gives ACK visibility with management while remaining a non-controlling stake. Shared voting power of 710,200 shares is the operative control metric in the filing.
Monitor future SEC schedules for any change in classification or additional share movements; any shift to active intent would likely be reflected by an amendment or a Schedule 13D filing.

"Schedule 13G showing ACK Asset Management LLC and its managing members"
A Schedule 13G is a formal document that investors file with the government when they acquire a large ownership stake in a company, usually for investment purposes rather than control. It helps keep the public informed about who owns significant parts of a company's shares, which can influence how the company is managed and how investors make decisions. Filing this schedule is important for transparency and understanding the ownership landscape of publicly traded companies.
beneficially ownregulatory
"each of ACK, Mr. Meisenberg and Mr. Reilly may be deemed to beneficially own 710,200 Shares"
Beneficially own means having the economic rights and risks of a security—such as the right to receive dividends, sell the shares, or profit from price changes—whether or not your name appears on the official share register. Think of it like renting a car: you use it and reap the benefits even if the title lists someone else. Investors care because beneficial ownership determines who truly controls value, must be disclosed under securities rules, and can signal potential influence or trading activity that affects a stock’s price.
shared dispositive powerregulatory
"Shared Dispositive Power 710,200.00"
Rule 13d-3regulatory
"By reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act"
Rule 13d-3 defines who is treated as the beneficial owner of a company’s shares for U.S. securities disclosure rules — essentially anyone who has the power to vote or direct how shares are voted, or the power to buy or sell them, even if they don’t hold the certificates. For investors this matters because crossing certain ownership thresholds triggers public filing and disclosure obligations and signals potential control or influence, much like having the keys to a car implies you can drive it even if it’s registered to someone else.
