Insights
TL;DR: Picton Mahoney reports a meaningful passive stake (7.1%) in TDS preferred depository shares, disclosed under Schedule 13G/A.
The filing indicates a non-control, passive ownership position consistent with Schedule 13G rules: sole voting and dispositive power are reported but the filer certifies the stake is not intended to influence control. A 7.1% holding in a single preferred share class is material for that class and must be monitored for potential voting influence on class-specific matters, though the filer disclaims control intent. The filing includes issuer and filer addresses, CUSIP, and the certifying officer's signature dated 08/18/2025.
TL;DR: The disclosure is routine and compliant, showing significant but passive ownership in a preferred share series.
The statement is administrative and follows Schedule 13G format: it identifies the filer, quantifies the position at 1,193,088 depository shares (7.1%), and classifies the filer as an investment fund manager organized in Canada. The certification stresses ordinary-course acquisition and no intent to change control. From a governance perspective this is informational for the issuer but does not, by itself, signal a change in board control or corporate strategy.
