    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.

    • Earlier institutional interest from JPMorgan, State Street, MUFG, and First Sentier was substantial but has since declined.

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