"Each of Sidecar SFES and the Financial Services Fund is the beneficial owner"
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.

"Shared Dispositive Power 192,676.00"
Schedule 13G/Aregulatory
"This Amendment No. 1 to is being filed on behalf of the following persons"
A Schedule 13G/A is an amended public filing with the U.S. securities regulator that updates a previous Schedule 13G, disclosing when an individual or group holds a substantial (typically over 5%) stake in a company and is claiming a passive, non‑controlling intent. Investors monitor these updates because rising or falling holdings can signal changing confidence, potential future moves, or shifts in voting power — like watching a public ledger where large shareholders quietly adjust their positions.
What stake does EJF report in CoastalSouth Bancshares (COSO)?
EJF-related reporting persons report beneficial ownership of 192,676 shares, equal to 1.6% of the voting common stock. The percentage is calculated from 12,035,531 shares outstanding as of May 6, 2026 as cited in the filing.
Which entities and individuals are named as reporting persons?
The amendment is filed on behalf of EJF Capital LP, Emanuel J. Friedman, Neal J. Wilson, EJF Sidecar Fund, EJF Financial Services Fund, LP and EJF Financial Services GP, LLC, with address at 2107 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 410, Arlington, VA.
Does the Schedule 13G/A show sole voting control of the reported shares?
No. The cover pages list 0 shares of sole voting power and 192,676 shares of shared voting power and shared dispositive power for the named reporting persons, indicating shared control rather than sole control.
Is this filing an acquisition or a routine ownership disclosure?
This is an amended Schedule 13G disclosure clarifying beneficial‑ownership attribution; it reports holdings and organizational relationships rather than describing a purchase, sale, or change in proceeds. Transaction timing or consideration are not provided in the excerpt.
