Filing Context & Significance

This filing was submitted pursuant to Rule 13d-1(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, signifying that the securities were acquired in the ordinary course of business without the purpose or effect of changing or influencing control of Bloom Energy Corp. Schedule 13G filings by passive index and mutual fund managers like Vanguard are standard routine disclosures once an ownership threshold exceeds 5%, and as such, this carries low immediate trading significance.
