Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: AQR and affiliates hold a passive 7.12% stake (2.2M shares) in NPACW with shared voting/dispositive power.

The position is material in size because it exceeds 5% and therefore required disclosure. The schedule indicates the stake is held in the ordinary course and not for control, consistent with a passive investment filing. Key metrics from the filing: 2,200,000 shares beneficially owned and 7.12% of the class; sole voting and dispositive power reported as 0; shared voting and dispositive power reported as 2,200,000.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Ownership is significant but declared passive; reporting shows centralized shared control across AQR entities.

The filing identifies three related reporting entities and clarifies AQR Capital Management Holdings as a parent and AQR Arbitrage as controlled by AQR Capital Management. That structure explains why shared voting and dispositive power are reported at the holding-group level. The certification states the holdings are not intended to influence issuer control, which is important for governance signaling and regulatory classification of the disclosure.
