Balyasny Asset Management and related entities reported beneficial ownership of 8,345,651 shares of Lexeo Therapeutics common stock, representing approximately 9.99% of the outstanding shares based on the issuer's reported share count. The position includes 4,336,514 shares issuable upon exercise of warrants, and the filing states the warrants cannot be exercised to the extent they would cause the holders to beneficially own more than 9.99% (a 9.99% blocker).
The filing explains that the reported shares are held through an investment client (Atlas Diversified Master Fund, Ltd.) for which Balyasny serves as investment manager, and that the Reporting Persons have sole voting and dispositive power over the reported shares. The Reporting Persons certified the holdings were acquired and are held in the ordinary course of business and not for the purpose of changing or influencing control.
Positive
8,345,651 shares beneficially owned reported, representing 9.99% of the company's outstanding common stock
Position explicitly includes 4,336,514 shares issuable upon exercise of warrants, providing potential additional economic interest subject to limits
Reporting Persons certified holdings were acquired and are held in the ordinary course of business and not for control
Negative
Warrants are subject to a 9.99% blocker, preventing exercise to the extent they would increase beneficial ownership above 9.99%
The reported shares are held through an investment client (ADMF), meaning the Reporting Persons' economic interest is on behalf of another person rather than direct ownership
Insights
TL;DR: Balyasny discloses a near-10% beneficial stake in Lexeo, including exercisable warrants constrained by a 9.99% blocker.
The Schedule 13G shows an aggregate position of 8,345,651 shares, equal to ~9.99% of the issuer's reported outstanding common stock (33,196,997 shares). That total explicitly includes 4,336,514 shares issuable upon exercise of warrants but notes those warrants cannot be exercised beyond the 9.99% ownership cap. The filing also identifies the direct holder as an investment client (ADMF) for which the Reporting Persons act as investment manager, and the Reporting Persons assert the holdings are held in the ordinary course and not for control purposes. For investors, this is a material disclosure of substantial passive interest without an asserted intent to change control.
TL;DR: A near-10% passive disclosure with voting and dispositive power reported, constrained by warrant exercise limits and disclosed client ownership.
The filing documents that each Reporting Person may be deemed to exercise voting and investment power over the reported shares by virtue of their managerial relationships, and lists sole voting and dispositive power for 8,345,651 shares. It also clarifies the economic holder is an investment client (ADMF), which has the right to dividends and sale proceeds. The Schedule 13G format and the certification in the filing indicate the Reporting Persons assert a passive holding rather than an intent to influence control.
