These shares are excluded from the Reporting Person’s aggregate interests reported on this Schedule 13D Amendment.
Based on information about outstanding shares as of February 20, 2024 disclosed in the Issuer’s final prospectus supplement, dated February 21, 2024, with respect to the February Offering, Richard B. Cohen Revocable Trust is the record holder of 2,431,144 shares of Class V-3 Common Stock immediately following the Offering. Richard B. Cohen may be deemed to beneficially own the securities of the Issuer held directly by the Richard B. Cohen Revocable Trust by virtue of his role as sole trustee of the trust. In connection with the February Offering and following delivery of a Notice of Redemption to Symbotic Holdings LLC, 33,449 shares of Class A Common Stock will be issued upon redemption of 33,449 OpCo Units by Richard B. Cohen Revocable Trust and then such shares of Class A Common Stock will be sold to the Underwriter pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. 33,449 shares of Class V-3 Common Stock, equal to the aggregate number of the redeemed OpCo Units, will be transferred to the Issuer and cancelled and retired by the Issuer upon such redemption. The closing of the sale of the shares of Class A Common Stock to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement in the February Offering is expected to close on February 26, 2024 and the redemption of such OpCo Units and cancellation and retirement of such shares of Class V-3 Common Stock is conditioned on such closing. Richard B. Cohen is treated as indirectly beneficially owning OpCo Units redeemed, the shares of Class A Common Stock sold and the shares of Class V-3 Common Stock cancelled and retired. These shares are excluded from the Reporting Person’s aggregate interests reported on this Schedule 13D Amendment. In addition, on December 13, 2023, Richard B. Cohen Revocable Trust made a bona fide gift of 1,000,000 shares of Class V-3 Common Stock to a charitable donor-advised fund. These shares are excluded from the Reporting Person’s aggregate interests reported on this Schedule 13D Amendment.
The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the beneficial owners of any securities of the Issuer he or it does not directly own. Each of the Reporting Persons specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities of the Issuer reported herein except to the extent such Reporting Person actually exercises voting or dispositive power with respect to such securities.

Each of the Covered Persons hereby disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares of Issuer’s common stock and the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any such Covered Person is the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Schedule 13D or that any such Covered Person is a member of a “group” for Section 13(d) purposes.
(c) | Except for the transactions described in Item 3, Item 4 and Item 6 of this Schedule 13D, which are incorporated into this Item 5(c) by reference, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to their knowledge, any of the Covered Persons, has effected any transactions in the Issuer’s common stock during the past 60 days. |
(d) | Except as disclosed in this Schedule 13D, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no other person is known to the Reporting Persons to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities covered by this statement on Schedule 13D. |
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the following:
Redemption of OpCo Units
The redemption of the OpCo Units is summarized above in Item 3 which summary is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 6.
Underwriting Agreement and Lock-Up Agreement
The Issuer and the Selling Securityholders agreed to sell to the Underwriter, and the Underwriter agreed to purchase from the Issuer and the Selling Securityholders, an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock in the February Offering, which will result, upon the closing of the February Offering, in approximately $396.9 million aggregate proceeds to the Issuer and the Selling Securityholders before expenses, pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement.
In connection with the February Offering, on February 21, 2024, each of the Reporting Persons also entered into a Lock-Up Agreement (collectively, the “Lock-Up Agreements”) with the Underwriter. Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreements, each of these Reporting Person has agreed with the Underwriter, subject to certain exceptions (including the sale of their securities that otherwise would be delivered in connection with the settlement of the restricted stock units or any other method to satisfy any tax withholding obligations as determined or permitted by the Issuer in its sole discretion from time to time pursuant to the applicable restricted stock units award agreements), not to dispose of or hedge any of their common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock during the period from February 21, 2024 continuing through the date 90 days thereafter, except with the prior written consent of the representative.
The descriptions of the Underwriting Agreement and Lock-Up Agreement set forth above in this Item 6 do not purport to be complete and such descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, which documents are included as Exhibit 99.7 and Exhibit 99.8, respectively, to this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.
