York Space Systems Inc. received an amended Schedule 13G from a group of AE Industrial-related investment funds and individuals, including AeroEquity GP, LLC, Michael Robert Greene, and David H. Rowe. The Reporting Persons collectively report beneficial ownership of 32,915,588 shares of Common Stock, representing 23.96% of the class, based on 137,357,605 shares outstanding as of the latest quarterly report.
These shares are directly held by various AE Industrial funds that are ultimately controlled by AeroEquity, which in turn is managed by Greene and Rowe, who make voting and investment decisions. Due to a Director Nomination Agreement and separate Voting Agreements with other stockholders, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own in the aggregate 78,632,605 shares, or 57.25% of the outstanding Common Stock, although they expressly disclaim membership in any such group and beneficial ownership of those additional securities.

"As a result of the foregoing, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 78,632,605 shares"
Beneficially own means having the economic rights and risks of a security—such as the right to receive dividends, sell the shares, or profit from price changes—whether or not your name appears on the official share register. Think of it like renting a car: you use it and reap the benefits even if the title lists someone else. Investors care because beneficial ownership determines who truly controls value, must be disclosed under securities rules, and can signal potential influence or trading activity that affects a stock’s price.
Director Nomination Agreementregulatory
"Pursuant to the Director Nomination Agreement, dated as of January 28, 2026, by and among the Issuer and the stockholders"
Voting Agreementsregulatory
"an aggregate of 34,548,424 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned as of August 11, 2026 by parties to voting agreements (the "Voting Agreement")"
A voting agreement is a legally binding deal where shareholders promise to cast their votes the same way on corporate matters, such as choosing directors or approving big transactions. Think of it like a neighborhood group agreeing to support the same candidate so they can decide how the block is run; for investors, these pacts can change who controls a company, influence strategy and risk, and affect the value and liquidity of shares.
