Gabelli group trims Lee Enterprises (LEE) holdings below 5% ownership

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

LEE Enterprises’ major shareholder group led by Gabelli entities has reduced its reported stake to 3.82% of the company. The filing shows beneficial ownership of 847,944 common shares out of 22,169,885 shares outstanding.

The decrease in ownership percentage is attributed to an approximately 15 million share increase in Lee’s outstanding stock following a private placement on February 5, 2026. Key holders include GAMCO Asset Management with 575,658 shares, Gabelli Funds with 232,286 shares, Gabelli Foundation with 23,000 shares, and Teton Advisors with 17,000 shares. The group states it ceased to be a beneficial owner of more than five percent of Lee on February 5, 2026 and continues to use the long‑form Schedule 13D because it may regularly communicate with the company’s management.

Insights

Equity ownership and governance analyst

Gabelli-related holders now own 3.82% of Lee, falling below the 5% threshold.

The filing shows the Gabelli/GAMCO-related reporting group collectively owning 847,944 Lee Enterprises shares, or 3.82% of 22,169,885 shares outstanding. The change in percentage stems from Lee’s approximately 15 million-share private placement completed on February 5, 2026, which increased the share count.

GAMCO Asset Management holds 575,658 shares, Gabelli Funds 232,286 shares, Gabelli Foundation 23,000 shares, and Teton Advisors 17,000 shares, each with sole dispositive power over its shares. The group explicitly notes it ceased to be a beneficial owner of more than five percent on February 5, 2026.

The reporting persons continue to use the long-form Schedule 13D because they may regularly communicate with Lee’s management, even though they indicate they could be technically eligible for the short-form Schedule 13G. Future ownership updates will depend on portfolio decisions and any additional Lee share issuances or repurchases disclosed in subsequent company filings.

FAQ

How much of Lee Enterprises (LEE) do the Gabelli and GAMCO entities currently own?

The Gabelli and GAMCO-related reporting group reports beneficial ownership of 847,944 Lee Enterprises common shares, representing 3.82% of the 22,169,885 shares outstanding. This ownership is spread across GAMCO Asset Management, Gabelli Funds, Gabelli Foundation, and Teton Advisors.

Which entities are the main Lee Enterprises (LEE) shareholders in this Schedule 13D/A?

The filing lists GAMCO Asset Management Inc. with 575,658 shares, Gabelli Funds LLC with 232,286 shares, Gabelli Foundation, Inc. with 23,000 shares, and Teton Advisors, LLC with 17,000 shares, all as part of the reporting group.

Why did the Gabelli group’s ownership percentage in Lee Enterprises (LEE) decline to 3.82%?

The ownership percentage declined because Lee Enterprises completed a private placement on February 5, 2026, increasing shares outstanding by approximately 15 million shares. This larger share base reduced the group’s percentage interest, even though they still hold 847,944 shares.

When did the reporting persons fall below the 5% ownership threshold in Lee Enterprises (LEE)?

The reporting persons state they ceased to be beneficial owners of more than five percent of Lee Enterprises on February 5, 2026. That date aligns with the company’s private placement that significantly increased the number of shares outstanding.

How are voting and dispositive powers over Lee Enterprises (LEE) shares allocated among the reporting persons?

Each reporting entity generally has sole voting and sole dispositive power over the shares it reports. The filing notes exceptions, including limited voting authority for certain GAMCO shares and proxy voting committees for some funds under specific circumstances.

Why do the Gabelli-related holders file a long-form Schedule 13D for Lee Enterprises (LEE)?

The reporting persons use the long-form Schedule 13D under Section 13d-1 even though they may be technically eligible for Schedule 13G. They explain this format helps ensure compliance when they regularly communicate with Lee’s management.

What recent trading activity in Lee Enterprises (LEE) shares is disclosed for the Gabelli group?

The filing lists multiple January and February 2026 trades, including purchases and sales by Gabelli funds and GAMCO around prices near $5.00–$5.49 per share, such as a 1,500-share purchase at $5.00 on January 14, 2026.
