Insights
Large passive holding disclosed; corrective amendment updates the event date.
First Eagle Investment Management reports a substantial passive position of 14,062,928 shares, or 8.8%, as investment adviser to clients. The filing clarifies voting and dispositive powers and corrects the Date of Event to 03/31/2026.
Voting and dispositive power are held principally by FEIM on behalf of clients; cash‑flow treatment and sale intentions are not stated in the excerpt. Subsequent filings may disclose changes in position.
Disclosure aligns with Section 13 reporting for institutional holders.
The amendment attributes beneficial ownership to FEIM acting as investment adviser and identifies the First Eagle Global Fund holding 9,907,985 shares (6.2%). The filing notes clients retain dividend/proceeds rights.
Because this is a Schedule 13G/A amendment rather than a Form 13D, it indicates a passive intent consistent with institutional reporting; material governance implications are not asserted in the excerpt.

beneficially ownedregulatory
"First Eagle Investment Management, LLC is deemed to be the beneficial owner of 14,062,927.52 shares"
Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.
sole dispositive powerregulatory
"Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 14,062,928"
Sole dispositive power is the exclusive legal authority to decide what happens to a security — for example, whether to sell, transfer, or retain shares — without needing anyone else’s permission. Investors care because it signals who truly controls the economic outcome of an investment: like holding the only key to a safe, the holder can realize gains or losses and may trigger regulatory reporting, insider rules, or influence over corporate ownership.
Investment Company Actregulatory
"investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940"
The Investment Company Act is a law that sets rules for businesses whose main activity is managing and selling pooled money, such as mutual funds and other investment funds. It matters to investors because it requires clear reporting, limits managers from putting their own interests ahead of clients, and mandates safekeeping and oversight of assets—similar to safety inspections and traffic rules that help keep shared vehicles reliable and trustworthy.
