Insights

Institutional Ownership Analyst

An institutional holder reports an 11.26% stake, a material ownership level for investors.

The filing shows Federated Hermes, Inc. and the Voting Shares Irrevocable Trust collectively hold 5,116,598 shares, equal to 11.26% of the class. Ownership is reported with sole voting and dispositive power by Federated Hermes and shared voting/dispositive power by individual trustees, indicating centralized control over the block.

The statement that shares are held in the ordinary course of business and not for control purposes reduces governance-change signaling, but the >5% position remains material to shareholders. Watch for any follow-up amendments, changes in percentage, or schedule filings that would indicate active engagement or additional accumulation within the next few reporting periods.

Corporate Governance Specialist

A single institutional holder plus an associated trust holding >10% can influence governance outcomes indirectly.

The report lists voting arrangements where Federated Hermes reports sole voting and dispositive power while related individuals report shared powers over the same 5,116,598 shares. This structure is commonly used to centralize stewardship decisions while fulfilling reporting rules.

Because the filing explicitly disclaims intent to change control, immediate governance action is not claimed. Investors should monitor proxy season filings and any investor communications for potential voting recommendations or nominee activity over the next 6–12 months.
