Vanguard Capital Management reports beneficial ownership of 55,681,378 shares, with dispositive authority over the full amount and voting authority over 7,528,824 shares. The filing frames these holdings as held on behalf of funds and managed accounts rather than an active takeover intent.

Schedule 13G regulatory
"Vanguard Capital Management filed a Schedule 13G reporting passive ownership"
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.
beneficially owned financial
"this reflects the securities beneficially owned, or deemed to be beneficially owned"
Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.
dispositive power regulatory
"Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 55681378"
Dispositive power is the authority to decide the final outcome of an asset, legal claim, contract, or corporate action — in effect the power to dispose of or resolve something. For investors it matters because whoever holds that authority can determine who gets paid, who controls an asset or vote, and how risks and returns are allocated; think of it like holding the key that lets you lock in the winner or loser in a deal.
sole voting power regulatory
"Sole power to vote or to direct the vote: 7528824"
Sole voting power is the exclusive right to cast votes attached to a shareholder’s stock without needing approval from anyone else. Like holding the only remote control for a TV, it lets that holder decide corporate matters such as board members, mergers, and policy changes, making it important to investors because it concentrates control and can strongly influence a company’s strategy and the value of its shares.
