Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Watts Water Technologies, Inc. (WTS) – Schedule 13G/A (Amendment 41)

The filing updates the Horne family group’s ownership of WTS Class A common stock (CUSIP 942749102) as of 30 Jun 2025. Five related U.S. persons report beneficial ownership derived largely from convertible Class B shares held in family trusts governed by the 1997 George B. Horne Voting Trust, for which Timothy P. Horne is sole trustee.

  • Timothy P. Horne: 5,926,290 shares (17.8 % of Class A); 68.2 % voting power. Sole voting power over all shares; sole dispositive power over 964,600 and shared dispositive power over 4,961,690.
  • Daniel W. Horne: 1,666,970 shares (5.7 %); no voting or dispositive power apart from trust co-trusteeship.
  • Deborah Horne: 1,666,970 shares (5.7 %); no voting or dispositive power.
  • Peter W. Horne: 1,529,770 shares (5.3 %); 34,760 shares with sole voting/dispositive power, remainder in trust.
  • Walter J. Flowers: 1,799,710 shares (6.2 %); no voting or dispositive power.

The group filed under Rule 13d-1(d) (passive owners/insiders). No certifications or Item 5 changes were required. Exhibit list references an amended stock-restriction agreement, the 1997 Voting Trust, and a joint-filing agreement.

Positive
  • Stable insider ownership: The filing shows no reduction in the Horne family’s holdings, indicating continued long-term commitment.
Negative
  • Concentrated voting power: Timothy P. Horne controls 68.2 % of votes with only 17.8 % economic stake, limiting minority shareholder influence.

Insights

TL;DR: Filing confirms Horne family retains 68% voting control through trusts; high concentration raises governance and float considerations.

This 13G/A shows that, despite individual ownership fragmentation, Timothy P. Horne controls virtually all voting rights via the 1997 Voting Trust. His 17.8 % economic stake translates into 68.2 % voting power, effectively giving him unilateral influence over shareholder decisions. Other family members and attorney Walter J. Flowers hold >5 % economic interests but no meaningful vote outside the trust, indicating a dual-class structure where Class B shares convert 1:1 into Class A but carry superior vote. Investors should note that public float and minority influence remain limited, and any corporate actions will largely reflect the trustee’s preferences.

TL;DR: No purchase/sale activity disclosed; ownership percentages largely unchanged—impact to valuation minimal, liquidity unchanged.

The amendment is informational rather than transactional; share counts and percentages are in line with prior filings, suggesting stability in insider holdings. Because the reported shares stem from existing Class B conversions, there is no immediate dilution risk. Market impact is therefore limited, though continued tight insider control may affect takeover premium assumptions and governance discount models.
