Insights
TL;DR: Holdings are material to disclosure but not controlling; sub-5% stake suggests limited market-moving impact.
The combined reported position of 938,149 shares (4.8%) is above routine single-account sizes but below the 5% threshold that often signals a potentially controlling interest. The filing indicates shared voting and dispositive power concentrated in Columbia with Ameriprise including those shares in its aggregate count as the parent. The sworn statement that shares are held in the ordinary course and not to influence control reduces the likelihood of immediate governance action or strategic change.
TL;DR: Schedule 13G/A appears compliant; parent-subsidiary relationship and disclaimers are disclosed.
The filing properly discloses the parent-child relationship between Ameriprise and Columbia and references an exhibit identifying the subsidiary. Both entities include standard disclaimers and a certification that the securities were not acquired to affect control. From a governance perspective this is a routine disclosure that increases transparency without indicating an active control campaign.
