Insights
TL;DR: Ownership disclosure shows sub‑5% stakes with modest shared voting power; unlikely to drive immediate market moves.
The filing reports precise holdings: FJ Capital Management383,656 shares; 3.84%), two affiliated funds holding 162,442 (1.63%) and 221,214 (2.21%), and Martin Friedman with a total of 489,611 shares (4.90%) including 105,955 shares held directly
TL;DR: Managing member reports combined ownership under 5% with both sole and shared voting authorities, and disclaims control intent.
The statement clarifies governance rights: Mr. Friedman has sole voting and dispositive power over 105,955 shares and shared voting/dispositive power over 383,656 shares. The split between sole and shared authority is relevant for assessing the filer’s practical influence on corporate matters. The filing explicitly states the holdings were not intended to change control, which frames these positions as disclosure of ownership rather than an active control campaign.
