Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Deep Track files as a passive holder of 8.58% (7.495M shares) in Terns; position is material but declared non-control.

The Schedule 13G/A shows a meaningful minority stake that exceeds the 5% reporting threshold, which can attract investor attention given its size relative to the 87.3M share base cited. The filing identifies shared voting and dispositive power, indicating coordinated authority among the reporting parties rather than individual sole control. The certification that the position was not acquired to change control is consistent with a passive disclosure under Rule 13d-1(b). For investors, this is material ownership information but does not signal an active proxy or control campaign.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Joint filing documents a coordinated ownership structure but explicitly disclaims intent to influence control.

The filing is a joint Schedule 13G/A by an adviser, a fund and an individual, showing shared voting/dispositive power over 7,495,000 shares. Joint filing and signature blocks (all dated August 14, 2025) formalize the group relationship and responsibility for amendments. The explicit certification that the holdings were not acquired to affect control is important for governance context: it frames the stake as passive under SEC rules, limiting immediate regulatory or proxy implications. However, shared authority means the group could still act collectively in futures scenarios; the filing itself contains no affirmative plans to do so.
