Insights
TL;DR: Linonia and affiliates report a 5.0% shared stake (4,244,437 shares) in Guidewire; ownership is disclosed as shared, not sole.
The Schedule 13G indicates a non-control reporting position held by a private fund and its management structure. The declaration of shared voting and dispositive power across the fund, its manager, the general partner and Philip Uhde is consistent with common fund reporting. The position equals 5.0% of outstanding shares using the issuer's disclosed share count, which meets the threshold for significance but is presented as passive under the certification. For investors, this filing primarily increases transparency about a notable shareholder without indicating activist intent.
TL;DR: Ownership structure shows fund-managed holdings with shared authority; filing asserts passive intent and disclaims control.
The filing clarifies the chain of control: the Fund holds the shares, the Partnership is the investment manager, the GP is the general partner, and an individual (Philip Uhde) is the managing member. All four reporting persons report identical shared voting and dispositive power figures, which supports the joint filing and the disclosure of potential shared influence while disclaiming beneficial ownership beyond pecuniary interest. The certification that the stake is not intended to change control is important for governance assessment.
