EyePoint gets 6.68 % passive stake from Federated Hermes per Schedule 13G/A

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Schedule 13G/A discloses that Federated Hermes, Inc. and related reporting persons—Voting Shares Irrevocable Trust, Thomas R. Donahue, Ann C. Donahue and J. Christopher Donahue—collectively hold 4,599,450 shares of EyePoint common stock, representing 6.68 % of the outstanding class as of 30 June 2025.

The filing is made under Rule 13d-1(b) indicating a passive investment. Federated Hermes has sole voting and dispositive power over all reported shares; the individual Donahues share voting/dispositive power through the Trust. No other parties share control, and the group certifies the stake was acquired in the ordinary course of business with no intent to influence control of the issuer.

Key details for investors:

• Ownership threshold: Stake exceeds the 5 % reporting trigger, signalling meaningful institutional involvement.
• Aggregation structure: Shares are held via a Pennsylvania-based trust controlled by Federated Hermes executives, consolidating voting power.
• Certification: Reporting persons affirm the investment is non-activist and purely passive.

No financial performance data, purchase price or transaction timing beyond the “Date of Event” are provided.

Positive

• Federated Hermes, Inc. holds 6.68 % of EyePoint’s outstanding shares, indicating meaningful institutional interest and potential confidence in the company’s prospects.

Negative

• None.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR – Federated Hermes now owns 6.68 % of EYPT, reflecting passive but notable institutional support.

The amendment shows Federated Hermes and related Donahue family trusts have accumulated 4.6 million shares, signalling increasing institutional confidence in EyePoint’s ophthalmology pipeline. While a 13G filing is passive—so no governance pressure—crossing the 5 % threshold can improve liquidity and visibility among other institutions. The single-holder concentration also means any future changes

Corporate Governance Specialist

TL;DR – New 6.68 % stake is passive; no immediate governance impact expected.

Because the report is on Schedule 13G rather than 13D, Federated Hermes disclaims any intent to influence control. The voting and dispositive powers rest with the asset manager, concentrated in a single trust structure. This reduces the likelihood of shareholder proposals or board challenges arising from this group. The filing mainly informs other shareholders of a significant but non-activist bloc, so governance dynamics remain unchanged.
