AI Reasoning: Search results show Anson Funds had a cooperation agreement with Five9 and a board appointment on December 8-9, 2024 (Five9 Appoints Sagar Gupta to Board with backing from Anson Funds). Additionally, Anson engaged in activism at Lionsgate and had public activity in early 2025 (nominating directors at Match Group in April 2025). The most recent identifiable investment-related action is April 4, 2025 when Anson nominated directors at Match Group. From that date to the reference date is less than 7 months; specifically under 7 months and within 3 months? April 4 to November 1 is almost 7 months – however there is evidence of activity in October 2025 reporting (Business Focus Magazine Oct 28, 2025) indicating ongoing activity; but the latest clear investment/engagement action found is April 4, 2025 which is 6 months and 28 days prior to the reference date, placing the last activity within 6-3 months? Given also December 2024 board agreement and February 2025 transaction (22nd Century Dec 31, 2024 reported Feb 14, 2025) and March 11, 2025 coverage, there is clear activity within the last 3 months? The presence of an October 28, 2025 article about Anson Funds pushing past $2 billion confirms activity extremely recently. Therefore classify as very-active.

Not Active – No known investments in the last 12 months.

Low Activity – Only known investments between the last 12 and 6 months.
