[SCHEDULE 13G/A] PATRIOT NATIONAL BANCORP INC SEC Filing
LMI Partners, LLC reports beneficial ownership of 285,915 shares of Patriot National Bancorp Inc. common stock, representing 0.25% of the outstanding class based on 114,991,017 shares reported by the issuer. The filer states it holds sole voting and dispositive power over all reported shares and that the filing is an amendment filed because the holder's percentage ownership declined below 5% solely due to a change in the issuer's total outstanding shares. The statement also certifies the shares were not acquired to influence control of the company.
- Clear disclosure of exact share count: 285,915 shares
- Sole voting and dispositive power over all reported shares
- Explicit certification the holdings are not intended to influence control
- Ownership percentage declined below 5%, now 0.25%, due to an increase in outstanding shares
- Position is immaterial (0.25%), unlikely to affect corporate governance or strategy
Insights
TL;DR: Minor passive stake: 285,915 shares (0.25%), sole voting/dispositive power, below 5% due to share count change; not a strategic control position.
From an investor perspective this filing signals a small, passive position by an institutional holder. The position size (0.25%) is immaterial to market or governance outcomes and the filer explicitly disclaims any intent to influence control. Changes in percentage ownership are attributed to a shift in total shares outstanding rather than active buying or selling by the reporting person. Expect no proxy or control implications from this disclosure.
TL;DR: Disclosure shows compliance and transparency; ownership below 5% removes certain reporting/activism implications.
The amendment clarifies that LMI Partners retains sole voting and disposal authority over the reported shares but remains under the 5% threshold that typically triggers heightened reporting and potential activist signaling. The certification that the shares were not acquired to influence control reduces governance concerns. This is a routine compliance filing following a change in the issuer's outstanding share base.
