SCHEDULE 13G/A
Warburg Pincus and affiliated entities reported holding 5,474,165 shares of Ring Energy, Inc. Class A common stock, equal to 2.65% of the 206,544,770 shares outstanding used for the calculation. The Schedule 13G/A states the Reporting Persons have no sole voting or dispositive power and report shared voting and dispositive power over 5,474,165 shares. The filing notes the securities reported give effect to the sale of 8,919,487 shares after June 30, 2025.
The statement is signed by Harsha Marti on behalf of the Warburg entities on 08/12/2025, cites the Reporting Persons' principal business address (c/o Warburg Pincus LLC, 450 Lexington Avenue, New York), and incorporates a Joint Filing Agreement by reference to Exhibit 24.1 of the prior Schedule 13G dated May 9, 2025. The filing also includes a certification that the holdings were not acquired to influence control of the issuer.
Positive
- Clear disclosure of current shared beneficial ownership: 5,474,165 shares (2.65%)
- Filing quantifies recent disposition: sale of 8,919,487 shares after June 30, 2025
- Includes joint filing agreement reference (Exhibit 24.1) and authorized signatures
Negative
- Reporting Persons reduced their position by the sale of 8,919,487 shares after June 30, 2025
- Aggregate stake is 2.65%, below 5% threshold, limiting reported influence over corporate control
Insights
TL;DR: Warburg Pincus reports a 2.65% shared stake (5.47M shares) after selling 8.92M shares; holding is passive with no sole control.
The filing provides clear, quantifiable disclosure: 5,474,165 shares with shared voting and dispositive power, representing 2.65% based on 206,544,770 shares outstanding as of August 6, 2025. The statement specifically notes the sale of 8,919,487 shares after June 30, 2025, and includes the Item 10 certification that the securities were not acquired to change or influence control. For market participants, the updated position and the explicit sale quantity are the primary takeaways; the holding is below the 5% threshold that often triggers greater regulatory scrutiny or disclosure requirements related to control.
TL;DR: Multiple Warburg entities file jointly, report shared authority and reference a Joint Filing Agreement; signatures dated 08/12/2025.
The filing lists a structured chain of entities and fund vehicles that together are the Reporting Persons and explains how general partner/manager relationships give rise to shared beneficial ownership treatment. The document references Exhibit 24.1 (Joint Filing Agreement) incorporated by reference to the prior Schedule 13G dated May 9, 2025, confirming coordinated disclosure. Signatures for the various entities are provided by the same authorized signatory, Harsha Marti, dated 08/12/2025. The record shows no assertion of sole control by any single entity and documents the recent sales activity that changed the aggregate reported position.
