- Filing: Form 4 filed 2026-07-08. The May 21 sale appears to have been reported later than the transaction date in this filing (see filing vs. transaction dates).
- Holdings/beneficial ownership: The filing discloses related holdings held by the reporting person’s spouse and an irrevocable trust (footnote F10) and contains disclaimers that Mr. Krasnow disclaims beneficial ownership of those holdings (F11). Direct post‑transaction Class A ownership is not specified in the provided excerpt.
Context
- These were sales (not purchases), which are often routine or for liquidity; the July sales were pre‑planned via a 10b5‑1 plan, which is a common mechanism for insiders to sell shares on an automated schedule.
- The filing also includes derivative/unit redemption activity (Symbotic Holdings Units and Class V‑1 paired shares) that converted into Class A shares for sale; those derivative/unit cancellations are administrative steps tied to the July sale.
- The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of certain family/trust holdings noted in the footnotes; such holdings are separate from the shares sold here.
