Gator group ends 13G reporting for non‑voting Class A shares

U.S. Global Investors, Inc. Schedule 13G/A amendment states that several related reporting persons are terminating their Section 13(d)/13(g) reporting obligation for Class A (Non‑Voting) shares because those shares are non‑voting.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

U.S. Global Investors, Inc. Schedule 13G/A amendment states that several related reporting persons are terminating their Section 13(d)/13(g) reporting obligation for Class A (Non‑Voting) shares because those shares are non‑voting. The amendment records beneficial ownership amounts held by the group, including 1,100,767 shares (10.65%) held by Gator Capital Management, LLC and Derek Pilecki, and notes the holders will report their Class A positions on Form 3 and Form 4 filed concurrently.

The filing clarifies the change is procedural: the beneficial ownership counts remain above 5% but are treated as non‑voting and therefore outside Section 13(d)/13(g) scope. The amendment is signed by Derek Pilecki and references a Joint Filing Agreement dated July 1, 2025.

Insights

Corporate Governance Specialist

Amendment reframes reporting obligation by emphasizing non‑voting status of Class A shares.

The filing states that the reporting persons hold 1,100,767 Class A shares (reported as 10.65%) and have filed Amendment No. 4 to terminate Section 13(d)/13(g) reporting because the shares are non‑voting. The amendment preserves the beneficial ownership totals while changing the regulatory basis for reporting.

Practical dependencies include the legal treatment of non‑voting Class A securities and concurrent filings on Form 3 and Form 4. Subsequent filings will show Section 16 disclosure; timing is shown as 06/02/2026.

Securities Compliance Analyst

Procedure shifts reporting channel from Schedule 13G obligations to Section 16 filings.

The statement explains the reporting persons continue to beneficially own the same share amounts but consider Section 13(d)/13(g) inapplicable to non‑voting securities. The amendment cites the group’s beneficial ownership remaining above 5% yet outside the cited sections due to lack of voting power.

Reviewers should watch the concurrently filed Form 3 and Form 4 for detailed insider/ownership mechanics; the amendment references a Joint Filing Agreement dated July 1, 2025.

FAQ

AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.

What does GROW's Schedule 13G/A Amendment No. 4 say?

It states the reporting persons are terminating Section 13(d)/13(g) reporting for Class A non‑voting shares. The amendment lists beneficial ownership amounts including 1,100,767 shares (10.65%) and explains non‑voting status is the reason for termination.

Who are the reporting persons listed in the GROW filing?

The filing names Gator Capital Management, LLC; Derek Pilecki; Gator Financial Partners, LLC; ECA Fund, LP; and Gator Qualified Partners, LLC. Their address is shown as 2502 N. Rocky Point Dr., Tampa, FL.

Do the reporting persons still own more than 5% of GROW Class A shares?

Yes. The amendment confirms beneficial ownership remains above 5%; for example, Gator Capital Management and Derek Pilecki each report 1,100,767 shares (10.65%). The change is in reporting basis, not in the ownership amount.

Why are the reporting persons terminating Schedule 13G/13D reporting?

They state Class A shares are non‑voting and therefore not voting equity securities under Section 13(d)/13(g). The filing says this legal interpretation is the basis for terminating those reporting obligations.

Will there be other filings reflecting these holdings for GROW?

Yes. The amendment says the Class A holdings are being reported separately on Form 3 and Form 4 filed concurrently, pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

Comments accompanying signature: After reasonable inquiry and to the best of each of the undersigned's knowledge and belief, each of the undersigned certifies that the information set forth in this Statement is true, complete and correct. This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13G is being filed to terminate the reporting obligation of the Reporting Persons with respect to the Class A Common Stock (Non-Voting) of U.S. Global Investors, Inc. The Reporting Persons are terminating this Schedule 13G because the Class A shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons are non-voting securities and therefore do not constitute voting equity securities subject to Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Reporting Persons' beneficial ownership of Class A shares has not decreased below 5%; rather, the Reporting Persons have determined that Schedule 13G is inapplicable to non-voting securities. The Reporting Persons' beneficial ownership of Class A shares is being reported separately on Form 3 and Form 4 filed concurrently herewith pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934."
