Rhea-AI Filing Summary

MGP Ingredients, Inc. (MGPI) Schedule 13D/A Amendment No. 12 discloses ownership and amendments to prior redemption agreements by members of the Seaberg/Cray reporting group. Karen Seaberg and affiliated entities beneficially own 2,379,691 shares, representing 11.2% of the 21,292,736 shares outstanding (per the issuer's 6/30/2025 quarterly report). The filing breaks ownership into record holdings including 1,748,733 shares held by the Cray Partnership (8.2%), 283,569 shares held by the Seaberg Partnership (1.3%), trusts totaling 225,196 shares, and other shares held directly or in an IRA.

The filing reports that since formation the Cray Partnership sold 588,384 shares in open market transactions and the Seaberg Partnership sold 130,206 shares. It also amends the Redemption Agreements with two redeemed limited partners: the third installment delivery date was postponed from September 5, 2025 to September 5, 2026, with the final share amount to be determined by a formula using the trading market price five trading days before that date.

Positive

  • Amendments postpone the third redemption delivery to September 5, 2026, with final share count tied to market price

Negative

  • Cray Partnership sold 588,384 shares in open market transactions since formation
  • Seaberg Partnership sold 130,206 shares in open market transactions since formation

Insights

TL;DR: A concentrated insider group holds 11.2% after substantial prior sales; redemption timing was extended to 2026.

The disclosure clarifies beneficial ownership concentration by Karen Seaberg and affiliated entities at 11.2% of MGPI, with the largest single record holder being the Cray Partnership at 8.2%. Notable executed open-market sales by the Cray Partnership (588,384 shares) and Seaberg Partnership (130,206 shares) reduce earlier holdings and may affect near-term free float. The amendment to defer the third redemption settlement to September 5, 2026 converts a prior fixed delivery schedule into a price-determined final installment, leaving the exact number of future shares contingent on MGPI market price near that later date. Overall, the filing documents ownership and contract timing changes but provides no earnings or operational information to alter valuation models.

TL;DR: The filing shows a coordinated reporting group with material voting power and amended contractual terms affecting future share deliveries.

The statement confirms Karen Seaberg is part of a separate group that has agreed to vote in favor of certain director nominees and that multiple family entities and partnerships are aligned via a joint filing agreement. Beneficial ownership of 11.2% is material for board influence discussions, and the amendment pushing the final redemption delivery to September 5, 2026 delays the conversion of economic consideration into a fixed share count until a market-price determination. These are governance-relevant developments: they preserve current voting composition while leaving the ultimate dilution from the redemption mechanism contingent on future market pricing.
