Fourthstone and affiliated entities report beneficial ownership of 1,142,959 shares of ChoiceOne Financial Services common stock, equal to 7.63% of the outstanding share class based on 14,984,253 shares reported by the issuer. The filing states these holdings are held in the ordinary course by Fourthstone as a registered investment adviser and by related funds and principals and that the securities were not acquired to change or influence control of the company. The positions are allocated across Fourthstone entities and an individual principal, reflecting a single manager's exposure across multiple vehicles.
Positive
Aggregate 1,142,959-share position (7.63%) disclosed, showing significant institutional interest.

Negative
None.
Insights
TL;DR: A material, passive institutional stake of 7.63% indicates meaningful investor interest without control intent.
The Schedule 13G/A discloses an aggregate holding of 1,142,959 shares (7.63%) by Fourthstone and affiliated accounts, calculated on a base of 14,984,253 shares outstanding. Holdings are reported across multiple related entities, concentrating beneficial ownership under a single adviser. The filing explicitly states the shares were acquired and are held in the ordinary course and not for the purpose of influencing control, which suggests a passive, investment-oriented position rather than an activist stake.
TL;DR: Disclosure confirms passive status but shows centralized voting/dispositive power within a related group.
The reporting group comprises a registered investment adviser, affiliated funds and the adviser’s principal, with shared voting and dispositive power reported for the aggregate 1,142,959-share position. The structure—general partner, limited partnerships and master fund—centralizes decision-making within the adviser group. The filing’s explicit statement that the position is not held to influence control is material to governance analysis: it signals no announced intent to seek board or control changes.
