Insights
Material 12.9% institutional stake disclosed with sole dispositive control; filing states no intent to influence control.
The filing documents a significant institutional position: 13,213,156 shares (12.9%). Reported sole voting power of 12,059,402 shares and sole dispositive power over the full position indicate Ariel can direct disposition and votes for the majority of its holding. The certification that the securities are held in the ordinary course and not to affect control is consistent with a Schedule 13G posture rather than an activist Schedule 13D approach. This is material ownership information for shareholders and potential acquirers.
Ariel holds meaningful voting and dispositive authority but asserts passive intent; governance implications depend on future actions.
The report shows concentrated economic and voting exposure without shared control: sole voting power for 12,059,402 shares and sole dispositive power for 13,213,156 shares. While the filing includes an explicit certification that holdings are not intended to influence control, the size of the stake (12.9%) makes Ariel a clearly identifiable significant holder whose future voting behavior could matter for governance votes. The filing also clarifies that no single client of Ariel has an economic interest above 5%.
