8 Knots affiliates disclosed a 7.70% stake in The Pennant Group, Inc. (PNTG). The filing shows 8 Knots Management, LLC and Scott Green each report beneficial ownership of 2,652,806 shares, representing 7.70% of the 34,468,981 shares outstanding used for the calculation. Holdings are held across funds and separately managed accounts: 8 Knots Fund (1,403,748 shares, 4.07%), 8 Knots Fund II (117,516 shares, 0.34%), and aggregate SMA holdings of 887,959 shares. 8 Knots Management is the adviser to the funds and SMAs and disclaims beneficial ownership of certain sub-advised and SMA positions where agreements are terminable. The filing includes a joint filing agreement signed August 7, 2025.
Positive
Clear disclosure of aggregate beneficial ownership: 2,652,806 shares representing 7.70% of outstanding common stock
Detailed attribution across entities and SMAs (8 Knots Fund, 8 Knots Fund II, SMAs) with explanation of advisory termination rights
Negative
None.
Insights
TL;DR: 8 Knots reports a material passive stake (7.70%) in PNTG across funds and SMAs; disclosure is routine but material for holders.
The Schedule 13G/A documents that 8 Knots Management and Scott Green may be deemed to beneficially own 2,652,806 shares (7.70%). The position is aggregated from multiple vehicles, with 8 Knots Fund holding 1,403,748 shares and SMAs holding 887,959 shares in aggregate. The filer states holdings are in the ordinary course of business and not intended to influence control, consistent with a passive 13G filing. For investors this clarifies ownership concentration and potential block-sell risk, but the filing does not indicate active control or plans to change governance.
TL;DR: Ownership structure is clearly disclosed; termination provisions for advisory agreements affect beneficial ownership attribution.
The disclosure explains that 8 Knots Management serves as adviser or sub-adviser to multiple vehicles and disclaims ownership where advisory agreements are terminable at short notice. This careful attribution—distinguishing direct fund ownership from discretionary SMAs and a sub-advised fund—reduces ambiguity about voting and dispositive power. The joint filing agreement indicates coordinated reporting among related parties. There is no claim of intent to influence control, and no governance actions are disclosed.

8 Knots Fund beneficially owns 1,403,748 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. 8 Knots Fund II beneficially owns 117,516 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. 8 Knots GP, as the general partner of 8 Knots Fund and 8 Knots Fund II, may be deemed to beneficially own the Common Stock owned by 8 Knots Fund and 8 Knots Fund II. Additionally, Scott Green, is an individual and sole managing member of 8 Knots Management. 8 Knots Management, an investment adviser registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 203 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, serves as investment manager to 8 Knots Fund and 8 Knots Fund II pursuant to investment advisory agreements with the 8 Knots Fund and 8 Knots Fund II. Accordingly, 8 Knots Management and Mr. Green may be deemed to have beneficial ownership over the shares of Common Stock directly owned by 8 Knots Fund, 8 Knots Fund II, the Sub-Advised Fund (as defined below), and the SMAs (as defined below).
8 Knots Management also serves as a sub-adviser, pursuant to a sub-advisory investment management agreement, to another private investment fund (such sub-advised fund, the "Sub-Advised Fund") which beneficially owns 243,583 shares of Common Stock. While 8 Knots Management maintains investment discretion with respect to the Sub-Advised Fund, including the Common Stock, the sub-advisory investment management agreement is terminable by the Sub-Advised Fund's investment manager at any time upon 30 days written notice. Accordingly, 8 Knots Management and Mr. Green disclaim beneficial ownership of the Common Stock owned by the Sub-Advised Fund.
8 Knots Management serves as an adviser to five separately managed accounts (each, an "SMA", and collectively, the "SMAs") pursuant to respective investment management agreements entered into between 8 Knots Management and each SMA. The SMAs beneficially own shares of Common Stock as follows: (i) one SMA beneficially owns 157,357 shares of Common Stock ("SMA-1"), (ii) another SMA beneficially owns 85,868 shares of Common Stock ("SMA-2"), (iii) a third SMA beneficially owns 139,906 shares of Common Stock ("SMA-3"), (iv) a fourth SMA beneficially owns 391,915 shares of Common Stock ("SMA-4"), and (v) a fifth SMA beneficially owns 112,913 shares of Common Stock ("SMA-5"). While 8 Knots Management maintains investment discretion with respect to each of SMA-1, SMA-3, SMA-4, and SMA-5, including the authority to vote and dispose of the Common Stock on behalf of each SMA, the respective investment management agreements with SMA-1, SMA-3, SMA-4, and SMA-5 are terminable by each such SMA at any time upon 60 days written notice. Accordingly, 8 Knots Management and Mr. Green disclaim beneficial ownership of the Common Stock owned by the SMA-1, SMA-3, SMA-4, and SMA-5. While 8 Knots Management maintains investment discretion with respect to SMA-2, including the authority to vote and dispose of the Common Stock on behalf of SMA-2, the respective investment management agreement with SMA-2 is terminable by SMA-2 at any time upon 61 days written notice. Accordingly, 8 Knots Management and Mr. Green may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the Common Stock owned by SMA-2.
