Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR A controlling shareholder group holds 42.2% and added structured option exposure covering tranches of shares over staggered dates.

The filing confirms Atlas Investissement, Iliad Holding, Maya and members of the Niel family beneficially link to 70,470,018 Common Shares, equal to 42.2% of the class using the Issuer's reported share count. On August 20, 2025 Atlas entered into European-style call spread transactions providing economic exposure to up to 1,111,111 Common Shares per call, with 40 staggered tranches and potential cash or share settlement; the detailed terms are in Exhibits 25-27. The disclosure clarifies that, aside from the described Transactions and prior amendments, no other transactions occurred in the prior sixty days.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR Large, concentrated ownership position disclosed; options create economic exposure without explicit new voting power claims.

The Schedule 13D amendment reiterates that Atlas Investissement and related entities may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of 70,470,018 shares (42.2%). It adds that Atlas obtained economic exposure via call spread option transactions exercisable across 40 tranches and possibly settled in shares or cash. The filing lists the specific letter agreements as exhibits and preserves the prior amendment history; it does not state any change in sole voting or dispositive power, which remain reported as zero for sole power and 70,470,018 for shared power.
