Insights
TL;DR: Armistice disclosed an 8.79% beneficial stake in RANI, managed via its Master Fund with shared voting power but no sole control.
Armistice Capital and Steven Boyd report beneficial ownership of 4,312,354 shares, equal to 8.79% of RANI common stock. The filing attributes voting and investment authority to Armistice as manager of the Master Fund; Mr. Boyd is identified as managing member and thus is reported with the same beneficial ownership. The statement emphasizes shared voting and dispositive power (no sole power), and notes the Master Fund retains entitlement to dividends and proceeds. This disclosure is material because holdings above 5% trigger Schedule 13G reporting and signal a sizeable position that market participants will note.
TL;DR: The filing documents substantial passive ownership with voting authority held jointly through the manager, not indicating an intent to influence control.
The Schedule 13G classification and the certification language indicate the position is reported as held in the ordinary course of business and not for control purposes. The reporting persons declare shared voting and dispositive power of 4,312,354 shares and explicitly state the Master Fund has rights to dividends or sale proceeds. The joint filing language and signatures by Steven Boyd establish accountability for amendment timing and accuracy.
