Nut Tree Capital group reports 1,125,404 Class A shares of Xponential Fitness, representing about 3.2% of outstanding Class A common stock as of June 30, 2025. The shares are held by Nut Tree Master Fund, LP, for which Nut Tree Capital Management, LP is the investment adviser; Nut Tree Capital Management GP, LLC is the general partner; and Jared R. Nussbaum is CIO and sole member of the GP. The filing discloses shared voting and dispositive power over these shares and reports no sole voting or sole dispositive power.
The disclosure states the holdings were acquired and are held in the ordinary course of business and not for the purpose of changing or influencing control of the issuer. Based on the issuer’s April 30, 2025 share count cited in the filing (~34.926 million shares), the position is below the 5% reporting threshold that would indicate a larger, potentially control-oriented stake.
Positive
Transparent ownership disclosure identifying the fund, adviser, GP, and individual responsible
Clear statement that the shares are held in the ordinary course and not to influence control
Negative
None.
Insights
TL;DR: A passive, sub-5% position (3.2%) disclosed by an investment adviser; likely non-disruptive to corporate control.
The filing documents a clear beneficial ownership of 1,125,404 Class A shares by Nut Tree Master Fund, with voting and dispositive authority shared among affiliated reporting persons. The adviser relationship and the explicit certification that the stake is held in the ordinary course reduce indications of an activist intent. For investors, this is routine ownership disclosure rather than an indication of strategic influence or governance change.
The report names the responsible entities and individual (Jared R. Nussbaum) and clarifies chain of control from adviser to fund to GP. Shared voting/dispositive power is disclosed, with no sole authority. Because the position is approximately 3.2% of Class A shares, it does not meet common thresholds that trigger heightened governance concerns or formal change-of-control signaling.
