Insights
Sculptor and affiliates report a disclosed beneficial stake of 800,000 shares (5.16).
The filing identifies multiple related entities—Sculptor Capital LP, Sculptor-II, SCHC, SCHC-II, SCU and SCMF—as having shared voting and dispositive power over the same 800,000 Class A shares. It follows the SEC Release aggregation approach cited in the text.
Because the stake is disclosed as 5.16 of 15,500,000 shares outstanding (per the issuer's 02/19/2026 424B4), subsequent filings may clarify whether any coordinated group or change in control intent exists.
The disclosed position equals a mid-single-digit ownership stake that could be liquid or passive depending on account mandates.
The schedule states shared voting and dispositive power for 800,000 shares, representing 5.16 of the class based on 15,500,000 outstanding. The filing attributes holdings to managed Accounts rather than direct corporate ownership.
Transaction activity or voting intentions are not provided; any market impact depends on whether these managed Accounts trade or retain the shares in future disclosures.
