This Form 4 confirms the closing of the secondary public offering by Blackstone-affiliated entities, which was previously announced and priced. The sale of over $831 million worth of Class A Common Stock, representing approximately 12.88% of Legence Corp.'s market capitalization, marks a significant reduction in Blackstone's stake. While this was a pre-planned liquidity event for a financial investor, the substantial size of the sale, executed at $54.00 per share (below the current market price of $59.75 but near the 52-week high), could create an overhang on the stock and signals a major institutional investor locking in gains. This transaction follows the S-1 registration filed on April 6th and the 424B4 pricing announcement on April 8th.
