Positive

• Clear disclosure of holdings and voting/dispositive powers improves transparency for investors
• Substantial passive stake of 1,343,671 shares ( 4.8% ) signals institutional interest without control intent

Negative

• Below 5% threshold so holdings do not trigger the additional disclosures or obligations that come with larger stakes
• Beneficial ownership disclaimed, meaning control and economic interest remain with underlying Funds, limiting direct accountability

Insights

Institutional Ownership Analyst

Dimensional holds a meaningful passive stake just under the 5% reporting threshold for activist triggers.

The firm reports 1,343,671 shares, equal to 4.8% of the outstanding class, with 1,309,691 shares carrying sole voting power. This indicates significant voting influence relative to a passive position while remaining below statutory thresholds that typically trigger additional disclosure or activist signaling.

Key dependencies are the composition of the funds that own the shares and any changes in holdings that could push ownership above 5%. Monitor quarterly filings for movements around the 5% level and any changes in voting power over the next reporting cycle.
