Positive

• Transparent disclosure of precise beneficial ownership across Ares entities, including per-entity share counts and percentages
• Clear reporting of outstanding shares used for percentage calculations: 155,555,984 shares outstanding (as of July 28, 2025)
• Detailed organizational chain and signatory evidence showing which Ares entities and authorized signatories filed the statement

Negative

• Highly concentrated ownership (117,449,188 shares; 75.5%) materially reduces public float and concentrates voting control
• Governance concentration: filing discloses that Antony P. Ressler generally has veto authority, indicating centralized decision power within the Ares board structure

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Ares entities report a dominant 75.5% stake in SVV, a material concentration that substantially reduces public float and centralizes voting control.

The filing documents that affiliates of Ares collectively beneficially own 117,449,188 shares of Savers Value Village, equal to 75.5% of the 155,555,984 shares outstanding cited. From a market-structure perspective, this level of concentration is material: it removes a large portion of the free float and centralizes voting power with the Ares group and its governance chain. The filing lists precise holdings (for example, ACOF V: 66,010,098 shares; ASOF Holdings I: 32,609,674 shares) and identifies the related management entities, which clarifies the control pathway but also highlights limited liquidity for other investors.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: The Schedule 13G/A discloses a clear ownership chain and governance relationships, including a stated veto authority for Antony P. Ressler.

The filing details the structure through which Ares entities hold and manage the reported shares, naming managing entities and the board of managers for Ares Partners. It explicitly notes that Antony P. Ressler generally has veto authority over Board Members' decisions, a governance feature disclosed in the statement. The document also contains the signatures and authorized signatories for each reporting entity, confirming formal attestation. For stakeholders, the filing provides transparent identification of who holds voting and dispositive power within the Ares group.
