Ahmet Okumus‘ Okumus Fund Management has just filed a Form 13D with the SEC, updating the regulatory body on its position in Ascent Capital Group Inc (NASDAQ:ASCMA). The activist filing shows that the fund’s position in the company has remained unchanged from the end of 2015 at just under 1.29 million shares, and that it was filed to refute a mistakenly-filed 13G on the company earlier today, which would’ve suggested that the fund was no longer an activist shareholder of the stock. You can see the latest ownership position in the table below, while the filing is embedded below and on the following pages.
