This S-3ASR registers 2,399,998 shares, valued at approximately $825 million, for potential resale by institutional investors (ECP affiliates) who received them as part of the recent $3.5 billion Cornerstone Acquisition. While the company receives no proceeds, this registration creates an overhang of potential supply on the market, representing about 5% of outstanding shares. The selling stockholders are subject to a 90-day lock-up on half the shares and a 180-day lock-up on the remainder, mitigating immediate selling pressure. This filing follows the completion of the acquisition on June 15, 2026, and the stock is currently trading near its 52-week high, making potential sales attractive for the institutional holders.
