Cohort-level robustness battery

Heckman selection-corrected ATE · Romano-Wolf step-down + BH FDR · pooled BHAR. This firm's reading is shown in context of the full cohort.

Heckman two-step selection correction (controlled-vs-widely-held)

Cohort ATE = +0.94% (SE = 7.06%, n = 2395) after correcting for controller-status selection (inverse Mills ratio = -0.062).

Romano-Wolf step-down + Benjamini-Hochberg FDR (n = 47)

This firm: per-firm adjusted p-values pending. Multiple-hypothesis correction is computed across the full cohort to control family-wise error rate at alpha = 0.05.

Pooled cohort BHAR (mover firms only)

BHAR_63d: mean = -5.60% (SE = 22.11%, n = 3, p = 0.499) · BHAR_126d: mean = +17.33% (SE = 41.17%, n = 3, p = 0.774)

Texas Statutory Adoptions

Texas opt-in statutory regimes available to Texas-incorporated public companies. Each requires a charter or bylaw amendment with proxy notice. Both are independently elected.
SB 29 — TBOC §21.552
Derivative-action 3% ownership threshold (effective 2025-05-14, post-Tornetta v. Musk).
PENDING VERIFICATION
SB 1057 — TBOC §21.373
Shareholder-proposal threshold: lesser of $1M market value or 3% of voting shares, 6-month hold, 67% solicit (effective 2025-09-01). Director nominations and procedural resolutions are exempt. Legal status: vulnerable to challenge under the Internal Affairs Doctrine and dormant Commerce Clause; SEC Rule 14a-8(i)(1) permits state-law exclusion, so §21.373 may operate through Rule 14a-8 rather than face direct preemption. No court ruling has issued. Firms appear to be in a wait-and-see posture pending legal clarity.
PENDING VERIFICATION

Adoption is opt-in. A "No" or "Pending" status means the firm has not (yet) elected into the regime — it does not mean the firm is non-compliant. Adoption requires a charter/bylaw amendment disclosed via 8-K Item 5.03.

Audit notes
[2026-04-30] v3.84-rev5y: Inserted as Panel A (TX-incumbent universe) reference firm. Source: panelA_TX_incumbent_universe_v2.3_FULL.csv. NOT a DE→TX migrator. Eligible for the §21.552 adopter cohort analysis (see luv_case_study.html Section M.2 for the full TX-incumbent roster).
[2026-05-30 rev100] EQPT panel_b 0→1 RESTORED. CRITICAL-FIX-2 in rev99-pxc-reconcile was supposed to flip this but the JSON write didn't land. All other fields (from=DE, to=TX, status=COMPLETED, vote=APPROVED, bucket=B1, effective=2025-06-30, primary_source_accession=0001628280-26-019656) are mover-consistent — only the panel_b flag was missing. $5.26B firm; material to cohort. Shane caught 80→77 drop and asked for reconciliation.
[2026-05-31 rev110] External red-team flagged EQPT for verification: (a) internal-source contradiction noted (one extract DE→TX, another TX→TX) — confirming row IS DE→TX per EDGAR accession 0001628280-26-019656 (Jan 2026 S-1 documents the prior conversion); (b) press release date 2025-07-17 NOT used as announcement (post-dated effective by 17 days and is not primary source — that's why announcement_date_iso is None); (c) reincorporation occurred while EQPT was PRIVATE (effective 2025-06-30); IPO Jan 2026; row correctly classified as public-company mover post-IPO since the public-issuance filing documents the prior move.
[2026-05-31 rev110] EQPT announcement_date_iso set to 2025-06-30 (= effective). Private-company conversion: there is no public-investor announcement separate from the effective date. The Texas Certificate of Conversion was filed and effective on the same day; the press release (2025-07-17) was a post-hoc disclosure, not used as announcement per EDGAR-only rule. For private companies, announce_iso == effective_iso is the documented convention.
