Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (DFA) has filed a Schedule 13G indicating that, as of 30 June 2025, it beneficially owns 1,572,330 shares of Boston Omaha Corp ("BOC"), representing 5.1 % of the company’s outstanding common stock. The institutional investor reports sole voting power over 1,540,879 shares and sole dispositive power over the full 1,572,330-share position, with no shared voting or dispositive authority.

DFA, a Delaware limited partnership and SEC-registered investment adviser, explains that the shares are held across multiple mutual funds, commingled trusts and separate accounts for which it or its subsidiaries act as adviser or sub-adviser. While DFA may exercise voting and investment discretion, it expressly disclaims beneficial ownership in excess of the requirements of Section 13(d).

Crossing the 5 % ownership threshold triggers this disclosure and signals a modest increase in institutional ownership in BOC. Because DFA is predominantly a passive, quantitative manager, the filing does not suggest an activist agenda or an intention to influence control. Nevertheless, additional institutional sponsorship can enhance liquidity, broaden research coverage and potentially support the share price through index-related demand.

Key numeric details

• Date of event: 30 June 2025
• Shares owned: 1,572,330
• Percent of class: 5.1 %
• Sole voting power: 1,540,879
• Sole dispositive power: 1,572,330

Overall, the Schedule 13G is an informative but routine ownership disclosure that underscores growing passive interest in Boston Omaha without materially altering corporate governance or near-term strategy.

Planet Labs PBC (PL) has filed a Form 144 indicating an intended sale of insider shares. The notice covers up to 3,011,400 common shares to be sold through Morgan Stanley Smith Barney beginning on or about 11 July 2025. At the filing date, the shares carry an aggregate market value of $19.88 million and represent roughly 1.1 % of the company’s 282,273,344 shares outstanding.

The shares were originally acquired as Founder Shares on 5 March 2021. Recent Form 144 disclosure shows that the same account, Isalea Investments LP, has already sold 12,400 shares in two small transactions on 12 and 13 June 2025, generating gross proceeds of $8,293.12.

While insider dispositions can signal reduced confidence, the percentage of shares involved is modest and the filing complies with Rule 144’s disclosure requirements, allowing investors to monitor potential selling pressure without implying immediate dilution to existing shareholders.

Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL) filed an 8-K detailing the results of its 10 July 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. All management-backed proposals passed with comfortable margins:

The meeting was well-attended: 176.3 million Class A & B shares representing 578.3 million voting power (�83% of total votes outstanding) were present in person or by proxy. No other material corporate actions or financial disclosures were included.

Planet Labs PBC (PL) â€� Form 4 filing dated 10 July 2025

The filing discloses routine equity grants to director Ita M. Brennan. Two separate awards of Class A common stock restricted stock units (RSUs) were reported:

• 32,468 RSUs that vest fully on the earlier of the first anniversary of grant or the next annual shareholdersâ€� meeting.
• 13,915 RSUs that vest in equal quarterly tranches each 15 March, 15 June, 15 September and 15 December.

No cash consideration was paid (price $0), and no derivative transactions were reported. Following the grants, Brennan’s direct beneficial ownership rose to 298,968 Class A shares, all held directly.

The awards are part of the company’s standard director compensation program and do not alter share count materially. There is no indication of open-market buying or selling, and the transaction does not involve Rule 10b5-1 trading plans.

DallasNews Corporation (DALN) has entered into a definitive merger agreement under which it will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Hearst Media West, LLC. The deal, announced to employees, community leaders and clients on 10 July 2025, is targeted to close in the third or early fourth quarter of 2025, pending shareholder approval and customary conditions.

The employee letter emphasises strategic alignment: Hearst’s history of investing in digital transformation, its nationwide portfolio of 28 dailies, 50 weeklies and other media assets, and its private-company status that “removes short-term public market pressures.� DALN management cites progress on its “Return to Growth� plan—solid cash, no debt—but acknowledges ongoing structural challenges that a larger owner can better address. Medium Giant, DALN’s marketing-services subsidiary, is expected to integrate with Hearst Newspapers� agency services, expanding reach and functional expertise.

Operational continuity: DALN will continue trading on Nasdaq until close and employees are told it is “business as usual.� Detailed Q&A reiterates that no role changes are expected before completion; post-closing integration plans will be communicated later. All stakeholder communications contain standard forward-looking-statement language and remind investors that a proxy statement will be filed with the SEC.

• Timeline: Close anticipated Q3–Q4 2025.
• Approvals: Requires DALN shareholder vote and regulatory clearances.
• Deal terms: Purchase price and other financial specifics were not disclosed in these materials.

The communications frame the merger as a strategic solution to industry disruption, offering scale, capital and digital capabilities, while cautioning about customary risks such as deal termination, litigation and employee retention.

Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) is marketing Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities linked to the common stock of Uber Technologies, Inc. (ticker: UBER UN). Each unlisted note has a $1,000 face amount, prices on 18-Jul-2025 and matures (unless called) on 21-Jul-2028. The securities offer a contingent quarterly coupon of $26.90 (10.76% p.a.) that is paid only when the closing price of Uber shares on an observation date is at or above the 60% downside threshold. A memory feature allows skipped coupons to be recovered on later dates that meet the threshold.

The notes are auto-callable: if Uber’s closing price on any quarterly determination date (other than the final one) is at or above the 100% call threshold, investors receive the stated principal plus the applicable coupon and the deal terminates early. At maturity, if the final share price is below the 60% threshold, principal is reduced in direct proportion to Uber’s share decline, exposing investors to a loss of up to 100% of principal.

Key terms

• Issuer: The Bank of Nova Scotia, Senior Note Program Series A
• Coupon: 10.76% p.a. contingent, with memory
• Downside threshold: 60% of initial share price
• Call threshold: 100% of initial share price (observed quarterly)
• Issue price vs. estimated value: $1,000 vs. $938.74â€�$968.74
• Upfront selling commission: $22.50 per note
• Listing: None; liquidity depends on dealer market making

Principal risks highlighted by BNS include

• Full principal risk below the 60% threshold
• Possibility of zero coupons if Uber trades weakly throughout the term
• Credit exposure to BNS as senior unsecured debt
• Limited secondary market and price concessions versus estimated value
• Uncertain tax treatment for U.S. and Canadian investors

The product suits investors seeking enhanced income and willing to take single-stock, equity-linked downside and issuer credit risk in exchange for capped returns and no equity upside.
