Ancora Amends Schedule 13D: 3.17M GPRE Shares (4.7%); Below 5% Threshold

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Ancora and affiliated entities filed Amendment No. 8 to a Schedule 13D reporting holdings in Green Plains Inc. (GPRE). Collectively, Ancora Alternatives and related entities may be deemed to beneficially own 3,166,180 shares, representing approximately 4.7% of the outstanding common stock on the filing date. The filing breaks out direct holdings by each fund and reports aggregate purchase prices for each account. The reporting persons state they ceased to beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding shares as of September 11, 2025. Transactions since the prior amendment are referenced in an exhibit.

Positive

• Detailed, fund-level disclosure of individual fund holdings and aggregate purchase prices improves transparency
• Clear statement that transactions were effected in the open market and quantification of shared voting/dispositive powers

Negative

• Reduced ownership below 5% as of September 11, 2025, meaning the group no longer exceeds the 5% threshold disclosed previously

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Ancora's group holds a 4.7% stake in GPRE after recent open-market transactions; detailed fund-level positions and purchase prices are disclosed.

The filing provides transparent, fund-level disclosure of positions and aggregate purchase prices across multiple Ancora vehicles. The combined 3.17 million-share position (4.7%) is meaningful for ownership monitoring but is below the 5% Schedule 13D threshold that often triggers heightened market attention. The report confirms purchases were effected in the open market and quantifies source of funds and commissions, improving traceability of the position.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: The amendment clarifies beneficial ownership across related entities and confirms Ancora no longer exceeds the 5% reporting threshold.

This amendment consolidates ownership attribution across advisory and fund entities and explicitly states shared voting and dispositive powers, which is important for governance disclosure. The filing documents that Ancora and Mr. DiSanto may be deemed to beneficially own 4.7% collectively, and it discloses that the group ceased to hold above 5% as of the stated date, which can affect regulatory and proxy-related considerations.
