Insights

Veradace shifts from passive holder to activist with a 16.5% stake.

Veradace Capital Management, its fund, and principals now report beneficial ownership over 2,039,805 SoundThinking shares plus options for 50,000 shares, totaling 2,089,805 shares. This equates to 16.5 percent of outstanding stock based on 12,698,453 shares as of November 6, 2025.

The group filed an amended Schedule 13D after moving from a passive Schedule 13G posture to a more activist stance. It has raised concerns about multi‑year performance and the absence of meaningful shareholder representation on the board, and has asked the company to add two new directors with fresh perspectives.

Although it does not currently plan to nominate its own slate for the 2026 annual meeting, Veradace intends ongoing engagement on board composition, capital allocation, and strategy. It also signals flexibility to buy more shares, sell down, or employ hedging and derivative positions, including existing American‑style options expiring on March 20, 2026. Subsequent company communications and future ownership updates will clarify how this activist pressure evolves.
