What This Means
FMR LLC is now the most significant shareholder, with nearly 10% ownership, indicating high conviction.
Regal Funds Management remains a meaningful institutional presence (~8%) despite reductions.

Insiders hold minimal direct equity—Peter James has a modest stake; leadership (CEO Oleg Vornik) currently holds only options, not shares.
