Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Three related filers report a >5% stake in Waldencast with shared voting/dispositive power; ownership includes warrants in the base.

This Schedule 13G shows a non-control disclosure of roughly 6.1% beneficial ownership by each reporting entity/individual, calculated on an expanded share count that includes 1,611,133 warrant-issuable shares. The holdings are reported as shared voting and dispositive power, indicating joint influence rather than unilateral control. For investors, the filing is material because it documents a significant, disclosed block position and clarifies that the position is held through advisory clients.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: The filing documents coordinated ownership above the 5% threshold but disclaims intent to change issuer control.

The reporting persons explicitly disclaim beneficial ownership beyond pecuniary interest and certify the securities were not acquired to change control. The report identifies shared voting/dispositive authority for the reported shares, which implies coordinated rights among the filers rather than sole control. This is a standard disclosure for significant passive or advisory holdings and is important for governance transparency.
