Beneficial ownership after these trades rose to figures such as 2,527,365 shares for **Equinox Partners, L.P.**, 659,996 shares for **Kuroto Fund LP**, and 2,416,038 shares for the managed account, all reported as indirect. The reporting persons explicitly disclaim beneficial ownership beyond their pecuniary interest, which is standard for investment managers and their principals.
