Insights
Beneficial ownership disclosure shows a meaningful single-holder stake without transaction activity.
The Schedule 13G lists 2,762,546 shares (6.5%) attributable to John M. Foraker as of March 31, 2026, combining direct holdings, family-trust holdings, and options exercisable within 60 days (512,370 options). The filing uses Rule 13d conventions to include exercisable options in the beneficial ownership calculation.
Because this is a passive ownership disclosure rather than a Form 4 trade, it reports position size and voting/dispositive powers (1,112,848 sole; 1,649,698 shared) without indicating purchases or sales. Subsequent filings would show any change in position or actual transactions.

"As of March 31, 2026, the Reporting Person may be deemed the beneficial owner"
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.
