[SCHEDULE 13D] Southport Acquisition Corp SEC Filing

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Neal Harmon, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Angel Studios, Inc., filed a Schedule 13D reporting beneficial ownership of 22,389,906 shares of the issuer's common stock, representing approximately 18.3% of the 99,910,315 shares outstanding as of September 11, 2025. The total includes 26,495 Class A shares held directly, 22,032,683 Class B shares convertible one-for-one into Class A, and vested options exercisable for 330,728 Class B shares within 60 days of September 11, 2025. Shares were acquired as founder's shares, via a Regulation CF purchase, and as compensation. Harmon states the shares are held for investment and to align incentives with his executive role. He entered a lock-up restricting transfers for up to one year, subject to release conditions tied to share price thresholds of $12.50 and $15.00 over specified trading windows.

Positive

• Substantial founder ownership (18.3%) signals alignment between management and shareholders
• Lock-up agreement limits immediate share sales, reducing short-term supply pressure
• Convertible structure and vested options indicate long-term commitment and incentive alignment

Negative

• High ownership concentration could entrench control and limit minority shareholder influence
• Potential future dilution from conversion of Class B shares and exercise of options
• Lock-up release tied to share-price hurdles could trigger clustered selling if thresholds are met

Insights

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Founder-CEO retains a large, convertible stake and is subject to a time- and price-based lock-up, preserving control and alignment with shareholders.

The Reporting Person's aggregate ~18.3% stake, composed largely of convertible Class B founder shares and exercisable options, indicates substantial voting and economic interest if converted or exercised. The lock-up provisions limit immediate liquidity and signal alignment with post-closing market performance through explicit price hurdles at $12.50 and $15.00 for staggered releases. The filing disclaims any agreement to act with third parties, and Harmon's ongoing executive role suggests continuity in leadership. For governance, this concentration is material to control dynamics and future voting outcomes.

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Material ownership position by CEO could influence shareholder dynamics; lock-up may reduce near-term sell pressure but ties liquidity to share-price performance.

Beneficial ownership of over 22.3 million shares out of ~99.9 million outstanding is a significant position that investors should treat as material. The composition—direct Class A, convertible Class B, and vested options—creates potential for future share class conversions increasing free-floating Class A if exercised. The one-year or price-triggered lock-up reduces short-term supply risk but creates contingent future supply tied to market performance. No transactions within 60 days prior to the filing were reported aside from items in Item 3.
