This Schedule 13D/A confirms the completion of a significant share disposition by EIG Global Energy Partners, a major institutional investor. The sale of 7.5 million shares, valued at approximately $107.4 million, represents a substantial reduction in their stake and marks their exit as a beneficial owner of more than 5% of the company. This transaction, which follows the secondary offering announced earlier this week, removes a large institutional overhang from the stock. While the company itself repurchased a portion of the offering, EIG's complete exit from a reportable position could be viewed negatively by some investors, signaling a lack of long-term conviction from a former major holder.
