Create Account Police said the vehicle was driven into the front entrance of the building just after 8 p.m. and no one is believed to have been injured, despite crowds inside and outside the show. 'Coliseum security detained the man until VPD officers arrived and took him into custody,' the department said in a social media post. Photographs posted on social media show a dark-coloured sedan with its front end crumpled at what appears to be the entrance of the arena in east Vancouver. Police said a 30-year-old Vancouver man was arrested under the Mental Health Act and the crash did not appear to be an act of terrorism. Sgt. Steve Addison told Global News at the scene late Thursday that police didn't believe there was a link between the crash and the recent Lapu Lapu Day Festival attack in Vancouver. The ramming attack at the festival on April 26 killed 11 people and injured dozens more. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Addison said it was a miracle nobody was killed or seriously hurt Thursday night, given that so many people were inside and around the arena at the time. 'We do believe that this person was in the midst of some sort of mental health break or episode when this happened,' Addison said. He said that although the investigation was only hours old, 'what I can tell you is that we don't believe this is a copycat episode.' He acknowledged that the incident was alarming, occurring in the wake of the April attack. 'It's definitely going to bring back those emotions and that level of anxiety that our entire community has been experiencing for over a month now,' he said. Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim said in a social media post that he was 'incredibly grateful no one was hurt.' 'The safety of everyone attending events in our city is our top priority and we'll continue working to keep Vancouver safe,' Sim said.

PNE AG (ETR:PNE3) is largely controlled by institutional shareholders who own 62% of the company
Institutions' substantial holdings in PNE implies that they have significant influence over the company's share price The top 2 shareholders own 60% of the company Using data from analyst forecasts alongside ownership research, one can better assess the future performance of a company AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. To get a sense of who is truly in control of PNE AG (ETR:PNE3), it is important to understand the ownership structure of the business. And the group that holds the biggest piece of the pie are institutions with 62% ownership. Put another way, the group faces the maximum upside potential (or downside risk). Given the vast amount of money and research capacities at their disposal, institutional ownership tends to carry a lot of weight, especially with individual investors. Therefore, a good portion of institutional money invested in the company is usually a huge vote of confidence on its future. Let's take a closer look to see what the different types of shareholders can tell us about PNE. See our latest analysis for PNE Institutional investors commonly compare their own returns to the returns of a commonly followed index. So they generally do consider buying larger companies that are included in the relevant benchmark index. PNE already has institutions on the share registry. Indeed, they own a respectable stake in the company. This implies the analysts working for those institutions have looked at the stock and they like it. But just like anyone else, they could be wrong. If multiple institutions change their view on a stock at the same time, you could see the share price drop fast. It's therefore worth looking at PNE's earnings history below. Of course, the future is what really matters. Investors should note that institutions actually own more than half the company, so they can collectively wield significant power. It looks like hedge funds own 9.8% of PNE shares. That's interesting, because hedge funds can be quite active and activist. Many look for medium term catalysts that will drive the share price higher. The company's largest shareholder is Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Inc., with ownership of 48%. For context, the second largest shareholder holds about 12% of the shares outstanding, followed by an ownership of 9.8% by the third-largest shareholder. To make our study more interesting, we found that the top 2 shareholders have a majority ownership in the company, meaning that they are powerful enough to influence the decisions of the company. Researching institutional ownership is a good way to gauge and filter a stock's expected performance. The same can be achieved by studying analyst sentiments. There are a reasonable number of analysts covering the stock, so it might be useful to find out their aggregate view on the future. The definition of an insider can differ slightly between different countries, but members of the board of directors always count. Company management run the business, but the CEO will answer to the board, even if he or she is a member of it. Insider ownership is positive when it signals leadership are thinking like the true owners of the company. However, high insider ownership can also give immense power to a small group within the company. This can be negative in some circumstances. Our data cannot confirm that board members are holding shares personally. It is unusual not to have at least some personal holdings by board members, so our data might be flawed. A good next step would be to check how much the CEO is paid. The general public, who are usually individual investors, hold a 11% stake in PNE. This size of ownership, while considerable, may not be enough to change company policy if the decision is not in sync with other large shareholders. Private equity firms hold a 12% stake in PNE. This suggests they can be influential in key policy decisions. Sometimes we see private equity stick around for the long term, but generally speaking they have a shorter investment horizon and -- as the name suggests -- don't invest in public companies much. After some time they may look to sell and redeploy capital elsewhere. Our data indicates that Private Companies hold 5.0%, of the company's shares. It's hard to draw any conclusions from this fact alone, so its worth looking into who owns those private companies. Sometimes insiders or other related parties have an interest in shares in a public company through a separate private company. While it is well worth considering the different groups that own a company, there are other factors that are even more important. Consider for instance, the ever-present spectre of investment risk.
