Paine Schwartz lifts Suja Life stake to 69.3%

Paine Schwartz affiliates report beneficial ownership of 26.8 million Suja Life Class A shares, or 69.3% on an as-converted basis, after early September 2026 open market purchases.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Suja Life, Inc. (SUJA) received an updated Schedule 13D/A from Paine Schwartz Food Chain Fund V GP, Ltd., reflecting increased ownership in the company’s Class A common stock. Through affiliate PSP Suja Life Aggregator, L.P., the reporting group bought additional shares in early September 2026 using its own investment funds.

The reporting person now reports beneficial ownership of 26,757,565 shares of Class A common stock (including shares issuable upon exchange of LP units and paired Class V common stock), representing 69.3% of the Class A common stock outstanding on an as-converted basis. These shares are held across several affiliated funds and entities within the Paine Schwartz structure.

Filing Explained

The amendment records 650,000 additional shares bought for $6,769,312.50; the 69.3% ownership figure includes 14,836,312 shares issuable on LP-unit exchange.

Suja Life’s Amendment No. 3 reports completed open-market purchases by PSP Suja Life Aggregator from September 1, 2026 through September 8, 2026: 650,000 Class A shares bought for $6,769,312.50, including commissions. As a Schedule 13D amendment, it updates the reporting group’s disclosed ownership position.

The purchases were funded with the affiliate’s available investment funds. The filing reports the group’s beneficial ownership as 26,757,565 shares, consisting of 11,921,253 issued Class A shares and 14,836,312 shares issuable upon exchange of LP units paired with Class V shares.

The stated 69.3% therefore measures ownership on an as-converted basis: its denominator combines 23,788,700 Class A shares outstanding as of July 31, 2026 with the 14,836,312 exchangeable shares. Voting and dispositive power are reported as shared rather than sole.

beneficially owns financial

"The Reporting Person beneficially owns an aggregate of 26,757,565 shares"

Beneficially owns means a person or entity enjoys the economic benefits and control of a security even if the legal title or registration is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and profits from a car that is registered to a friend: you use it, benefit from it, and make decisions about it even though the official paperwork lists someone else. For investors, this matters because it reveals who truly controls shares, affects voting power, potential conflicts of interest, and regulatory disclosure obligations.

Schedule 13D regulatory

"This Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements the statement on filed"

A Schedule 13D is a legal document that investors file with regulators when they buy a large enough stake in a company to potentially influence its management or decisions. It provides details about the investor’s intention, ownership stake, and plans, helping other investors understand who is gaining control and what their motives might be.

Class V common stock financial

"together with an equal number of shares of Class V common stock"

open market transactions financial

"purchased an aggregate of 650,000 shares of Class A Common Stock in open market transactions"

Open market transactions are the buying and selling of a company’s shares or other securities conducted on public exchanges or through the wider market rather than through private deals or negotiated placements. They matter to investors because these trades change supply and demand in real time—like shoppers affecting a store’s inventory—and so can move prices, signal management or investor sentiment, affect liquidity, and alter ownership stakes that influence future returns and risk.

LP Units financial

"issuable upon the exchange of 14,836,312 Class A common units (the "LP Units")"
