Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Holdings disclosed total 4.9% of WOW; reporting persons fell below 5% on August 12, 2025, reducing regulatory ownership threshold implications.

The filing provides a clear ownership snapshot: 4,199,033 shares in aggregate and sub-allocations by fund. The key material point is the loss of beneficial ownership above the 5% threshold as of August 12, 2025, which can alter disclosure obligations and potential votes of influence. There are no disclosed recent transactions within the 60-day lookback except those in Annex B, and no litigation disclosures. For investors, this is primarily a disclosure update rather than evidence of new strategic action.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Management and voting control are centralized through LB Partners and Mr. Cocke, but reported ownership now remains under 5%, lessening formal activist thresholds.

The filing reiterates that LB Partners, LLC, as investment manager, and Charles P. Cocke Jr., as Managing Member, hold shared voting and dispositive power over the Funds' shares while disclaiming direct beneficial ownership. The cessation of >5% beneficial ownership is material for governance signaling because it changes certain proxy and regulatory dynamics. The document contains standard exhibits including a joint filing agreement and a transaction annex; no material governance disputes or proceedings are disclosed.
