The filing is Amendment No. 1 to a Schedule 13G and shows that Wexford Capital LP, Wexford GP LLC, Charles E. Davidson and Joseph M.

Insights
TL;DR: Wexford reports a non-controlling 4.83% stake in Imperial Petroleum, disclosed as shared voting and dispositive power.
The filing shows Wexford-affiliated funds hold 1,681,866 shares, amounting to 4.83% of outstanding stock based on the issuer's reported share count. Because the stake is below 5% and the reporting persons explicitly disclaim an intent to influence control, the market-impact is likely limited. The disclosure improves transparency about who holds a measurable minority position and clarifies the governance relationship among Wexford Capital, Wexford GP and two named individuals.
TL;DR: This is a routine Schedule 13G amendment disclosing shared authority, with no apparent control intent.
The amendment explains why multiple Wexford entities and principals are filing jointly and clarifies shared voting and dispositive power over the securities held by Wexford Funds. The certification states the shares were not acquired to change or influence control, consistent with a passive investor filing under Rule 13d-1. For governance monitoring, investors should note the shared power even though the position remains under the 5% reporting threshold for control presumptions.
