[SCHEDULE 13G/A] USA Rare Earth, Inc. Warrant SEC Filing
Newtyn Management, LLC and Newtyn TE Partners, LP report combined beneficial ownership in USA Rare Earth, Inc. of 444,353 common shares (Newtyn Management) and 274,386 common shares (Newtyn TE Partners). These amounts reflect Newtyn Management's indirect ownership through Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock held by affiliated partnerships, which convert into the stated common shares. The reported holdings represent approximately 0.5% and 0.3% of the company's 94,704,077 outstanding common shares, respectively. The filers also disclose Preferred Investor Warrants (648,250 held by NTE and 402,171 held by NP) that were not exercisable as of the reporting date because the underlying shares were not registered, and therefore those warrant shares are not counted as beneficially owned.
- Transparent disclosure of convertible preferred positions and the resulting common share equivalents clarifies beneficial ownership.
- Warrants identified but noted as not exercisable, preventing overstatement of current ownership or voting power.
- Potential dilution exists from a sizeable number of Preferred Investor Warrants (totaling 1,050,421) if and when registered and exercised.
- Concentration of preferred holdings across affiliated funds could change ownership percentages if conversion or registration events occur.
Insights
TL;DR: Holdings are small and non-controlling; warrants are not exercisable so reported ownership is limited.
The Schedule 13G/A shows passive ownership below 5% for both reporting persons, indicating no intent to influence control. Newtyn Management's 444,353-share stake arises from convertible preferred positions held across affiliated funds, while NTE's direct beneficial ownership is 274,386 shares. The presence of substantial Preferred Investor Warrants is noted, but their non-exercisability due to registration constraints means they do not increase current beneficial ownership. For investors, these disclosures clarify ownership structure but do not signal an activist or control-driven intent.
TL;DR: Disclosure aligns with passive investor filing requirements; no group or control relationships asserted.
The filing identifies Newtyn Management as investment manager to affiliated partnerships and includes a joint filing agreement. The statement that securities were not acquired to change control and the classification of ownership as 5% or less are consistent with Schedule 13G treatment. The filing explicitly states that warrants remain unexercisable pending registration, which is material for assessing dilution risk but does not affect current voting power. Governance implications are minimal given the sub-5% stakes and passive classification.
