The activist dropping below 5% removes the presumption of ongoing activist pressure. Monitor for any further 13D filings or a potential exit. The company's recent 10-K (filed 2 days prior) showed 5,034,452 shares outstanding — any further dilution or share issuance could accelerate the activist's exit.

Executive Summary
