Insights
Wellington holds a modest >5% stake with shared voting and dispositive power.
Wellington Management Group LLP and affiliated entities report beneficial ownership of 4,381,487 shares (5.34%) as of 03/31/2026. The shares are owned of record by clients of Wellington investment advisers and controlled via multiple holding entities.
Because the filing lists shared voting and shared dispositive power, actual decision-making is distributed among advisers and client mandates; subsequent disclosures would show any change in active stewardship or proxy intentions.
Holding crosses the 5% threshold, triggering disclosure but not an active control signal.
The filing identifies Wellington Group Holdings LLP and Wellington Investment Advisors Holdings LLP as parent/holding entities that layer control through Wellington Investment Advisers. The statement that no client is known to hold more than 5% narrows single-client concentration.
Proxy effects depend on voting coordination among the advisers and clients; the filing shows shared power figures (1,726,801 shared voting), which governance teams may track ahead of annual meetings or contested votes.

Schedule 13Gregulatory
"Schedule 13G filing discloses beneficial ownership of 4,381,487 shares"
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.
beneficial ownershipfinancial
"Amount beneficially owned: See the responses to Item 9 on the attached cover pages"
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.

"Shared Dispositive Power 4,381,487.00"
shared voting powerregulatory
"Shared Voting Power 1,726,801.00"
Shared voting power occurs when two or more parties jointly have the right to vote or decide how a block of company shares is cast, like co-owners who must agree before moving a piece of furniture. Investors care because who controls voting rights affects board elections, major corporate decisions and takeover outcomes, and shared control can alter regulatory disclosures and the practical influence any holder has over a company’s direction and value.
