• CEO Stake Rises to 49%

  Scott Beck purchased 1,076,923 shares at $3.25 in the public offering, bringing his beneficial ownership to 34,164,737 shares, or 49.03% of outstanding common stock.

• Personal Put Obligations Revealed

  Beck, his spouse, and Pearl Street Trust have entered into put option agreements requiring them to purchase preferred units from sellers and investors at prices ranging from $6.00 to $9.00 per unit (equivalent to $18.00 to $27.00 post-reorganization). These obligations are backed by personal guaranties.

• Lock-Up Restricts Sales

  Beck signed a lock-up agreement preventing him from selling any shares for 90 days following July 8, 2026, the date of the final prospectus supplement for the offering.

• Contingent Liability Overhang

  The put agreements cover preferred units issued in multiple acquisitions and investments from 2023-2025. If exercised, Beck would need to fund purchases potentially worth millions, creating a personal liquidity risk that could impact his ability to hold or support the stock.

Following a $3.5 million purchase in the recent offering, CEO Scott Beck now controls 49.03% of Gloo Holdings. More critically, this filing discloses for the first time that Beck and his family trusts have personally guaranteed to repurchase preferred units from multiple investors and acquisition sellers at prices reaching $27 per unit (post-split). These put obligations, totaling millions of dollars, create a significant personal financial overhang that could force Beck to sell shares or assets if exercised. While a lock-up agreement prevents him from selling any stock for 90 days, the put agreements represent a contingent liability that was not priced into the stock during the offering.
