[SCHEDULE 13G/A] PAYCOM SOFTWARE, INC. SEC Filing
Polen Capital Management, LLC filed Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13G for Paycom Software, Inc. (PAYC) covering the 06/30/2025 event date.
The investment adviser now reports 2,846,113 PAYC common shares, equal to 4.92 % of the 57,819,755 shares outstanding as of 04/29/2025. Polen holds sole voting and sole dispositive power over the entire position; no shared voting or dispositive power exists.
Because ownership has fallen to 5 % or less (Item 5), the filing affirms passive status under Rule 13d-1(b). Management certifies the shares were acquired in the ordinary course of business and not to influence control. No group, subsidiary, or additional reporting persons are involved, and no control-related intentions are disclosed.
The amendment indicates that while Polen remains a significant institutional holder, its stake has slipped below the statutory threshold that would otherwise require a Schedule 13D or activism-oriented disclosures.
- Polen Capital still holds 2.85 million PAYC shares, signalling continued institutional commitment.
 - Filing confirms passive investment intent, reducing concerns about activist intervention or control challenges.
 
- Ownership percentage declined below 5 %, implying recent sales or dilution that modestly reduce institutional support.
 - Loss of 5 % holder status means less frequent future disclosures, offering investors decreased visibility into Polen’s trading activity.
 
Insights
TL;DR: Polen’s PAYC stake falls to 4.9 %; still sizable but below 5 % reporting threshold—neutral valuation impact.
Polen Capital still owns nearly 2.85 million shares, yet its percentage dipped under 5 %, triggering Item 5 disclosure. The firm retains full voting and dispositive control, implying holdings are discretionary, not strategic. Crossing below 5 % marginally reduces concentration risk for other investors but does not materially change Paycom’s ownership profile. No valuation catalysts or activist signals are present, so trading impact should be limited.
TL;DR: Filing shows passive intent; governance implications minimal as Polen remains non-controlling.
Schedule 13G/A confirms Polen is an investment adviser acting in the ordinary course, with no group formation or control ambitions. The ownership decline to 4.92 % means Polen is no longer a 5 % statutory holder, slightly lowering its disclosure obligations. Board dynamics, takeover defenses, and proxy considerations remain unchanged. Overall governance impact is negligible; the update is largely administrative.
