Report signals notable institutional stake but no active control claim.
The filing documents sole voting power of 7,284,032 shares and sole dispositive power over 7,391,230 shares, indicating portfolio management authority over these holdings. The note explains holdings are owned by multiple Funds advised by Dimensional.
Because Dimensional disclaims beneficial ownership, this is a standard adviser disclosure; any material change in intent or control would require a different schedule.

beneficially ownedregulatory
"Amount beneficially owned: 7,391,230 ** see Note 1 **"
Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.
Schedule 13Gregulatory
"Dimensional Fund Advisors filed a Schedule 13G reporting beneficial ownership"
A Schedule 13G is a formal document that investors file with the government when they acquire a large ownership stake in a company, usually for investment purposes rather than control. It helps keep the public informed about who owns significant parts of a company's shares, which can influence how the company is managed and how investors make decisions. Filing this schedule is important for transparency and understanding the ownership landscape of publicly traded companies.
Investment Company Actregulatory
"investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940"
The Investment Company Act is a law that sets rules for businesses whose main activity is managing and selling pooled money, such as mutual funds and other investment funds. It matters to investors because it requires clear reporting, limits managers from putting their own interests ahead of clients, and mandates safekeeping and oversight of assets—similar to safety inspections and traffic rules that help keep shared vehicles reliable and trustworthy.
sole dispositive powerregulatory
"Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 7,391,230**"
Sole dispositive power is the exclusive legal authority to decide what happens to a security — for example, whether to sell, transfer, or retain shares — without needing anyone else’s permission. Investors care because it signals who truly controls the economic outcome of an investment: like holding the only key to a safe, the holder can realize gains or losses and may trigger regulatory reporting, insider rules, or influence over corporate ownership.
