Reporting note

The filing includes a procedural update tied to Mr. Stahl. It states that on April 7, 2026, Mr. Stahl, a co-manager of the issuer, passed away unexpectedly. As a result, shares held directly by Mr. Stahl and his wife will no longer be subject to Section 16 reporting requirements and therefore will not appear in future Section 16 filings.


The disclosure documents provide the numerical and procedural details above. They do not offer additional commentary on strategy or intent behind the purchases, and they limit their scope to the transactions, ownership totals, market price, recent returns, and the change in reporting status following Mr. Stahl's death.

Risks

  • The filing shows the current trading price ($2.96) is below the reported purchase price ($3.24), which presents a near-term valuation gap for the recently acquired shares - this is relevant to investors monitoring market performance and portfolio valuations.
  • A change in Section 16 reporting status due to the unexpected death of Mr. Stahl on April 7, 2026 means shares he and his wife held directly will not appear in future filings, reducing transparency in public insider reporting for those specific holdings.
  • RCG's relatively small market capitalization of $21.33 million, as noted in the filing, may imply limited liquidity and greater price volatility, which could affect trading and execution for larger orders.
