Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Royce & Associates LP ("RALP") filed Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13G disclosing a passive position in Legacy Education Inc. (CUSIP 52474R207) as of 30 Jun 2025.

RALP reports 867,770 common shares, equal to 7.01 % of the outstanding class. The investment adviser—headquartered at One Madison Avenue, New York—holds sole voting and sole dispositive power over the entire stake; no shared voting or dispositive authority is indicated. The shares are owned across client accounts for which RALP has discretionary management authority.

The certification states the securities were acquired and are held in the ordinary course and not for the purpose of influencing control. No group status, subsidiary involvement, or special dividend arrangements are reported. While the filing does not alter Legacy Education’s operations, exceeding the 5 % threshold signals increased institutional participation worth monitoring for future ownership changes.

Positive

  • Royce & Associates LP’s 7.01 % stake introduces a reputable institutional holder, potentially improving liquidity and visibility for Legacy Education’s thinly traded shares.

Negative

  • None.

Insights

TL;DR: RALP now owns 7.01 % of Legacy Education, a passive but notable institutional stake that could improve liquidity and market perception.

Institutional holdings in micro-cap issuers like Legacy Education are typically thin. A 7 % position by RALP, a respected small-cap specialist, may attract additional attention from other investors, potentially enhancing trading volume and price discovery. Because RALP filed on Schedule 13G—not 13D—the firm affirms no intent to influence control, limiting immediate strategic implications. However, continued accumulation past 10 % would trigger Section 16 obligations and could shift sentiment. For now, the disclosure is mildly constructive but unlikely to drive fundamental change.

TL;DR: Passive 13G filing signals no governance challenge; compliance and certifications appear routine.

The filing confirms that RALP exercises sole voting rights yet expressly disclaims any control intent, reducing governance risk for Legacy Education’s board. No group formation or related-party complexities are present. The clear segregation of authority between RALP and Franklin Resources’ other affiliates aligns with SEC guidance (Release 34-39538). Overall, the document indicates standard regulatory compliance without red flags for shareholders or management.

SCHEDULE 13G



ROYCE & ASSOCIATES LP
Signature:Daniel A. O'Byrne
Name/Title:Vice President
Date:07/22/2025
Exhibit Information

The securities reported herein are beneficially owned by one or more registered investment companies or other managed accounts that are investment management clients of Royce & Associates, LP ("RALP"), an indirect majority owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc.("FRI"). When an investment management contract (including a sub advisory agreement) delegates to RALP investment discretion or voting power over the securities held in the investment advisory accounts that are subject to that agreement, FRI treats RALP as having sole investment discretion or voting authority, as the case may be, unless the agreement specifies otherwise. Accordingly, RALP reports on Schedule 13G that it has sole investment discretion and voting authority over the securities covered by any such investment managementagreement, unless otherwise noted in this Item 4. As a result, for purposes of Rule 13d 3 under the Act, RALP may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities reported in this Schedule 13G. Beneficial ownership by investment management subsidiaries and other affiliates of FRI is being reported in conformity with the guidelines articulated by the SEC staff in Release No. 3439538 (January 12, 1998) relating to organizations, such as FRI, where related entities exercise voting and investment powers over the securities being reported independently from eachother. The voting and investment powers held by RALP are exercised independently from FRI(RALP's parent holding company) and from all other investment management subsidiaries of FRI (FRI, its affiliates and investment management subsidiaries other than RALP are, collectively, "FRI affiliates"). Furthermore, internal policies and procedures of RALP and FRI affiliates establish informational barriers that prevent the flow between RALP and the FRI affiliates of information that relates to the voting and investment powers over the securities owned by their respective investment management clients. Consequently, RALP and the FRI affiliates report the securities over which they hold investment and voting power separately from each other for purposes of Section 13 of the Act. Charles B. Johnson and Rupert H. Johnson, Jr. (the "Principal Shareholders") may each own in excess of 10% of the outstanding common stock of FRI and are the principal stockholders of FRI (see FRI's Proxy Statement-Stock Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners). However, because RALP exercises voting and investment powers on behalf of its investment management clients independently of FRI affiliates, beneficial ownership of the securities reported by RALP is not attributed to the Principal Shareholders. RALP disclaims any pecuniary interest in any of the securities reported in this Schedule 13G. In addition, the filing of this Schedule 13G on behalf of RALP should not be construed as an admission that it is, and it disclaims that it is, the beneficial owner, as defined in Rule 13d 3, of any of such securities. Furthermore, RALP believes that it is not a "group" with FRI affiliates, the Principal Shareholders, or their respective affiliates within the meaning of Rule 13d 5 under the Act and that none of them is otherwise required to attribute to any other the beneficial ownership of the securities held by such person or by any persons or entities for whom or for which RALP or the FRI affiliates provide investment management services.
