This Schedule 13G/A discloses substantial passive holdings in Bloom Energy Corp (Class A common stock). The Columbia Seligman Technology and Information Fund directly holds 28,699,298 shares (12.3%). Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC reports beneficial ownership of 45,096,840 shares (19.3%), and Ameriprise Financial, Inc. reports an aggregate 46,833,019 shares (20.0%).
The filing shows shared voting power of 44,132,948 and shared dispositive power reported across the filers. CMIA is the investment adviser to the Fund and may be deemed to beneficially own the Fund’s shares; AFI is CMIA’s parent and includes CMIA’s reported shares. Each reporting person states the holdings were acquired and are held in the ordinary course and reported on Schedule 13G as passive.
Positive
Clear disclosure of substantial holdings with precise share counts for AFI, CMIA, and the Fund
Schedule 13G classification indicates the holdings are reported as passive and acquired in the ordinary course
Detailed voting and dispositive power figures are provided (shared voting power: 44,132,948; shared dispositive power up to 46,833,019)
Negative
High concentration of ownership: Ameriprise reports 20.0% (46,833,019 shares), which is material relative to public float
Complex ownership reporting: AFI and CMIA include shares reported by the Fund while disclaiming direct beneficial ownership, which could complicate clear attribution of control
Insights
Large institutional passive positions disclosed: AFI 20.0%, CMIA 19.3%, Fund 12.3% — significant stake concentration.
The filing reveals that combined institutional reporting reaches roughly one fifth of Bloom Energy’s Class A shares, with 46.8M shares (20.0%) attributed to Ameriprise and 45.1M (19.3%) to CMIA, while the Fund directly holds 28.7M (12.3%). These numbers reduce public float and concentrate voting influence, although the Schedule 13G classification denotes passive intent and ordinary-course acquisition, not an activist or control-seeking posture. Investors should note the magnitude of shared voting and dispositive power disclosed.
Schedule 13G indicates passive holdings, but group/parent relationships mean a single reporting alignment represents material ownership.
The document clarifies that CMIA advises the Fund and AFI is the parent of CMIA, and that AFI and CMIA include shares reported by the Fund while disclaiming direct beneficial ownership. The filing lists shared voting power of 44,132,948 and shared dispositive power up to 46,833,019, signaling concentrated institutional influence. The report is procedural and certifies ordinary-course acquisition; it does not assert any intent to change control.
