Insights
TL;DR: Goldman Sachs reports a passive 5.7% stake (1.98M shares) in BRP, material in size but reported as non-control, shared authority noted.
The Schedule 13G discloses 1,979,267.41 subordinate voting shares, equal to 5.7% of the class, with both shared voting and shared dispositive power. The filing includes a certification that the position is held in the ordinary course of business and not for the purpose of influencing control, and a joint filing agreement between The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC. Given the explicit certification and the 13G form, this is a passive ownership disclosure with limited immediate governance implications for BRP.
TL;DR: Joint filing and exhibit show parent/subsidiary reporting; shared authority and the ordinary-course certification lower the likelihood this stake is a control attempt.
The filing identifies The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (reported as a parent holding company) and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (the subsidiary broker-dealer and registered investment adviser) and attaches a joint filing agreement. Reported descriptors include types such as HC, CO for the parent and BD, OO, IA for the affiliate. The combination of joint filing, shared voting/dispositive power and the Item 10 certification indicates the position is reported as passive rather than part of an activist or control-seeking effort.
