[S-8 POS] MILLER HERMAN INC SEC Filing

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC (HKAM), a greater-than-10% shareholder of Texas Pacific Land Corp. (TPL), filed a Form 4 disclosing a single open-market purchase on 18 Jul 2025.

• Security: TPL common stock
• Volume: 1 share
• Price: $1,004.61
• Post-transaction direct holding: 1,163,956 shares
• Ownership form: Direct

HKAM remains a reporting 10% owner. The footnote reiterates that on 18 Dec 2024 HKAM reported beneficial ownership of 3,578,173 shares in an amended Schedule 13D, while founder Murray Stahl held 7,848 shares directly and approximately 156,083 shares indirectly; Stahl does not exercise investment discretion over TPL securities.

No derivative transactions were reported, and there are no changes to insider roles or existing arrangements. Given the de-minimis size of the trade relative to HKAM’s total position and TPL’s market capitalization, the filing is viewed as administrative with limited market impact.

Insights

Portfolio Manager

TL;DR: One-share insider buy; negligible size, neutral signal.

This Form 4 indicates HKAM’s continued reporting compliance rather than a strategic move. Buying 1 share at ~$1,005 marginally raises direct ownership to 1.164 million shares, keeping HKAM above the 10% threshold. The transaction neither alters float materially nor conveys meaningful valuation insight. Investors should focus instead on HKAM’s previously disclosed 3.58 million total beneficial shares in the 13D, which anchors its influence over TPL. Overall impact to near-term share price or corporate governance is immaterial.
