Insights
TL;DR: Routine 13D/A update; reports a sub-5% stake, shared voting power, and modest recent disposals totaling 37,752 shares.
The amendment updates beneficial ownership metrics: Bulldog Investors is deemed to hold 333,144 shares (4.98%) of PGZ based on 6,694,109 shares outstanding. Ownership is reported as shared voting and dispositive power with no sole control. The disclosure of recent sales (totaling 37,752 shares at roughly $10.45–$10.53) is factual and quantifies recent activity but represents a small fraction of outstanding shares. Overall, the filing provides transparency without indicating a controlling position or new strategic arrangement.
TL;DR: Governance disclosure is complete and routine; no agreements with the issuer and partners reported shared authority over the stake.
The filing states no contracts, arrangements or understandings with respect to PGZ securities, and identifies Messrs. Goldstein and Dakos as partners of Bulldog Investors, LLP. Reported shared voting and dispositive power over the disclosed shares clarifies decision-making authority. The ownership level reported is below the 5% mark that typically triggers heightened market and regulatory scrutiny, and the document records recent sales rather than acquisitions, suggesting no new control intent disclosed in this amendment.
