13G Filing: Alpine Associates Trims Stake in Ocata Therapeutics, Inc. (OCAT)

We are seeing a deluge of 13G filing activity at the moment given the quarterly filing deadline for end-of-year reporting is upon us. One of the more up-to-date filings is this one submitted to the SEC by Robert Emil Zoellner‘s Alpine Associates. This filing details the investor’s latest position in Ocata Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:OCAT), including the amount of shares owned at 2.09 million and the total voting power held by the investor (you can see these figures in the table below). As you can see below, Alpine Associates’ ownership has now dipped below 5% of Ocata Therapeutics’ common stock, which prompted the updated filing. The current position represents a decrease of about 320,000 shares from the position that Alpine Associates held in the stock at the end of 2015.
