"Ownership" is not the word to be using. The 205.238.192/18 is ALLOCATED to Epix. Meaning: the are authorized to use the addresses or to assign them to someone else to use. The /24 is probably ASSIGNED to you. Meaning: you can be an end user of the addresses. The /18 is not registered with ARIN as non-portable, so the portability call is exclusively up to the administrator of that block.
