The filing notes that Binder directly held 6,709,408 shares and Appboy directly held 355,448 shares as of March 31, 2026, based on the issuer reporting 111,737,860 shares outstanding on that date. The three reporting persons filed jointly pursuant to the attached agreement.
The amendment states that MCG7, Binder, and Appboy jointly report 6,709,408 shares of Class A Common Stock, representing 6.00% as of March 31, 2026. Ownership percentages are calculated from the issuer's reported outstanding shares.
Filers identify shared voting and dispositive power and attach a joint-filing agreement under Rule 13d-1(k)(1)(iii). This is a disclosure of passive/collective holdings rather than an active transaction; timing and cash-flow treatment are not described in the excerpt.
Ownership concentration at ~6% may be relevant to board and voting dynamics.
The filing shows shared voting power for 6,709,408 shares and that Appboy holds 355,448 shares (0.32%). The calculation uses the issuer's 111,737,860 shares outstanding as of March 31, 2026.
Further disclosures (e.g., intentions, plans to vote or acquire) are not included in the provided excerpt; subsequent filings would provide any change in intent or activity.

"Amendment No. 5) Braze, Inc. Class A Common Stock"
A Schedule 13G/A is an amended public filing with the U.S. securities regulator that updates a previous Schedule 13G, disclosing when an individual or group holds a substantial (typically over 5%) stake in a company and is claiming a passive, non‑controlling intent. Investors monitor these updates because rising or falling holdings can signal changing confidence, potential future moves, or shifts in voting power — like watching a public ledger where large shareholders quietly adjust their positions.
Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.
