Insights

Institutional Ownership Analyst

Van Berkom holds a modest institutional stake in Vital Farms with full voting and dispositive control.

Van Berkom's reported 2,437,508 shares (5.44%) signals a non-controlling but potentially influential passive position under Schedule 13G disclosure rules. The filing indicates sole voting and dispositive power, meaning voting decisions rest with Van Berkom for these shares.

Future filings could show changes in percentage or classification if holdings grow or become active; subsequent Schedule 13D would indicate a change in intent. Share movement or additional disclosures will appear in later beneficial-ownership reports.

Securities Compliance Counsel

Schedule 13G confirms passive reporting status and the firm’s control flags for the disclosed position.

The form lists Van Berkom as a passive investor under the beneficial-ownership framework while reporting sole voting and dispositive powers for the 2,437,508 shares. The signature by a firm officer completes the filing under applicable rules.

Compliance attention should focus on whether holdings remain below activist thresholds and on timely amendments if ownership or intent changes; monitoring future amendments is recommended.

Key Terms

Schedule 13G, beneficially owned, sole dispositive power

3 terms

Schedule 13G regulatory

"Item 1. (a) Name of issuer: Vital Farms, Inc."

A Schedule 13G is a formal document that investors file with the government when they acquire a large ownership stake in a company, usually for investment purposes rather than control. It helps keep the public informed about who owns significant parts of a company's shares, which can influence how the company is managed and how investors make decisions. Filing this schedule is important for transparency and understanding the ownership landscape of publicly traded companies.

beneficially owned financial

"Item 4. (a) Amount beneficially owned: 2,437,508.00"

Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.

sole dispositive power legal

"Item 4. (c)(iii) Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 2,437,508.00"

Sole dispositive power is the exclusive legal authority to decide what happens to a security — for example, whether to sell, transfer, or retain shares — without needing anyone else’s permission. Investors care because it signals who truly controls the economic outcome of an investment: like holding the only key to a safe, the holder can realize gains or losses and may trigger regulatory reporting, insider rules, or influence over corporate ownership.
