Schedule 13G/A regulatory

"Amendment No. 8) HORACE MANN EDUCATORS CORP ... SCHEDULE 13G/A"

A Schedule 13G/A is an amended public filing with the U.S. securities regulator that updates a previous Schedule 13G, disclosing when an individual or group holds a substantial (typically over 5%) stake in a company and is claiming a passive, non‑controlling intent. Investors monitor these updates because rising or falling holdings can signal changing confidence, potential future moves, or shifts in voting power — like watching a public ledger where large shareholders quietly adjust their positions.

beneficial ownership financial

"Amount beneficially owned: 0 (b) Percent of class: 0.0%"

Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.

Comment for Type of Reporting Person: Formerly in accordance with SEC Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998), Franklin Mutual Advisers, Inc. ("FMA") reported beneficial ownership separately on a disaggregated basis from Franklin Resources, Inc. ("FRI") in reliance on such release. As of the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2026, FRI went through an internal realignment such that FMA ceased to be disaggregated and ceased to report separately from FRI and FRI is now reporting beneficial ownership of equity securities attributed to FMA aggregated with other equity securities that may be beneficially owned by investment management subsidiaries of and reported by FRI.
