Insights
Investment adviser discloses a passive 7.5% stake in Brazil Potash.
Investment Company, Inc. reports beneficial ownership of 4,000,000 Brazil Potash Corp. common shares, representing 7.5% of the class. The firm has sole voting and investment power, acting as adviser to Special Situations Fund III QP, L.P. and Special Situations Cayman Fund, L.P.
The structure includes both common shares and warrants, with a 9.99% beneficial ownership cap on warrant conversion. This constraint limits further ownership concentration through warrant exercises. The filer certifies that the position is held in the ordinary course and not for changing or influencing control, aligning with a passive Schedule 13G filing.
Future changes in this ownership level would typically appear in updated beneficial ownership reports, while the 9.99% cap remains an important threshold for how much of the company these funds can beneficially own through warrant exercises.
