KKR and related entities report beneficial ownership of 21,533,123 shares of BrightView Holdings, Inc. (BV), representing 22.6% of the company's common stock based on 95,300,000 shares outstanding as reported by the issuer. The filing shows sole voting power and sole dispositive power over those 21,533,123 shares and lists multiple KKR entities and the founding partners as reporting persons.
The statement is an amendment to prior Schedule 13G filings and notes that various KKR entities and Messrs. Henry R. Kravis and George R. Roberts may be deemed beneficial owners of the shares held by KKR BrightView Aggregator L.P., although several entities disclaim beneficial ownership. This is a disclosure of concentrated ownership but contains no operational, financial performance, or transaction details beyond the ownership figures.

Insights
TL;DR: KKR discloses a large, disclosed stake in BrightView: 21.53M shares (22.6%), with sole voting and dispositive power reported.
This Schedule 13G/A confirms that KKR BrightView Aggregator L.P. directly holds 21,533,123 shares, equal to 22.6% of outstanding common stock based on 95,300,000 shares. The filing details sole voting and dispositive authority for those shares and identifies a chain of KKR affiliates that may be deemed beneficial owners, with some entities disclaiming ownership. For investors, the key implication is a material ownership concentration disclosed in a regulatory filing; the document itself does not report any change in corporate operations, financing, or plans that would alter financial forecasts.
TL;DR: Material ownership concentration disclosed; reporting structure shows multiple related entities and express disclaimers of ownership.
The filing is a governance-level disclosure showing that a single sponsor complex and its principals are associated with a 22.6% stake and hold stated sole voting and dispositive power over 21,533,123 shares. The document lists the reporting persons and explicitly records disclaimers of beneficial ownership by several entities while noting Messrs. Kravis and Roberts may be deemed owners but disclaim ownership as well. This is significant from a control and shareholder composition perspective; the filing contains no additional governance actions or proposals.
