The filing indicates that Retort’s entire equity position is held directly with no indirect holdings through trusts or other entities.

At the time of the transaction, Lumentum shares closed at $879.28 on August 20. The company had recorded a 638% one-year total return as of the August 21 filing date. Lumentum Holdings operates with a market capitalization of $68.4 billion and generated trailing twelve-month revenue of $3.0 billion, though it posted a net loss of $6.9 billion over the same period.
