beneficial ownership regulatory

"Such reported percent of Class A Common Stock is calculated in accordance with the SEC's rules for calculating "beneficial ownership,""

Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.

dispositive power regulatory

"Sole Dispositive Power 0.00 8 | Shared Dispositive Power 1,821,203.00"

Dispositive power is the authority to decide the final outcome of an asset, legal claim, contract, or corporate action — in effect the power to dispose of or resolve something. For investors it matters because whoever holds that authority can determine who gets paid, who controls an asset or vote, and how risks and returns are allocated; think of it like holding the key that lets you lock in the winner or loser in a deal.

fully diluted basis financial

"a more accurate determination ... would be to calculate the percent of class on a fully diluted basis"

A fully diluted basis counts every share that could exist if all outstanding options, warrants, convertible securities and other rights were exercised or converted into common stock, showing the maximum number of shares outstanding. For investors this matters because it spreads ownership and earnings across that larger share count, like slicing a pie into every possible piece before deciding how big each investor’s slice will be, which affects per-share value and ownership percentage.

parent holding company regulatory

"If a parent holding company has filed this schedule, pursuant to (ii)(G), so indicate under Item 3(g)"

investment adviser financial

"Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. ... 12 IA,"

An investment adviser is a person or firm that professionally manages money and gives recommendations about buying, selling, or holding investments. Like a financial coach or guide, they have a legal duty to act in a client's best financial interest, so their advice, fees and potential conflicts can directly affect returns and risk — making their role important for investors who want informed, accountable help with portfolios.

Item 4.	Ownership
(a)	Amount beneficially owned: See the response(s) to Item 9 on the attached cover page(s).
(b)	Percent of class: See the response(s) to Item 11 on the attached cover page(s). Such reported percent of Class A Common Stock is calculated in accordance with the SEC's rules for calculating "beneficial ownership," which requires the Reporting Persons to disregard the conversion of membership units of Black Rock Coffee Holdings, LLC ("LLC Units") (and the equivalent number of shares of Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock) that are not held by the Reporting Persons. Notwithstanding the foregoing, because the Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock vote together with the Class A Common Stock, a more accurate determination of the Reporting Persons' economic interest and voting/dispositive control of shares of Class A Common Stock would be to calculate the percent of class on a fully diluted basis (i.e., assume conversion of all LLC Units and corresponding cancellation of shares of Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock). Pursuant to such calculation, the Reporting Persons' beneficial ownership percentage is 3.6%, and, accordingly, the filing of this Statement is made on a voluntary basis. In this regard, the percent of class is calculated based upon 22,207,657 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of June 30, 2026, as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 12, 2026, as increased by 27,865,022 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of an equivalent number of membership units of LLC Units (and the cancellation of all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock).
(c)	Number of shares as to which the person has:
	(i) Sole power to vote or to direct the vote: See the response(s) to Item 5 on the attached cover page(s).
	(ii) Shared power to vote or to direct the vote: See the response(s) to Item 6 on the attached cover page(s).
	(iii) Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: See the response(s) to Item 7 on the attached cover page(s).
	(iv) Shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: See the response(s) to Item 8 on the attached cover page(s).

If a parent holding company has filed this schedule pursuant to Rule 13d-1(c) or Rule 13d-1(d), attach an exhibit stating the identification of the relevant subsidiary. See Exhibit 99.2
