[SCHEDULE 13G/A] C3.ai, Inc. SEC Filing
C3.ai (AI) Schedule 13G/A filed by Thomas M. Siebel and related entities reports Mr. Siebel's beneficial ownership and voting power as of June 30, 2025. Mr. Siebel beneficially owned 29,313,195 shares across classes, including 3,072,820 shares of Class B and 26,120,375 shares of Class A, and is reported to beneficially own 18.6% of outstanding Class A common stock. The filing states 20,185,246 Class A shares could be issued on exercise of options within 60 days and 619,791 Class A shares could vest from RSUs within 60 days; Class B shares convert 1-for-1 into Class A and carry 50 votes per share versus one vote for Class A. The Siebel Living Trust, Siebel-managed investment vehicles, First Virtual and the Siebel 2011 Irrevocable Children’s Trust hold specified portions; the Living Trust alone holds 5,889,622 Class A shares (4.4%). The filing notes a reported decrease in Mr. Siebel’s Class A ownership of approximately 1.6% since the prior report.
- Clear, quantifiable ownership disclosure showing Mr. Siebel's total beneficial holdings and the breakdown across trusts and entities
- Disclosure of near-term share issuances (20,185,246 options exercisable and 619,791 RSUs vesting within 60 days) provides transparency on potential dilution
- Reported decrease of ~1.6% in Mr. Siebel’s Class A beneficial ownership compared to the prior filing
- Concentrated voting structure via Class B shares (50 votes per share) creates disproportionate control, which may concern governance-focused investors
Insights
TL;DR: Mr. Siebel retains substantial economic and disproportionate voting influence via Class B shares and leadership-controlled entities.
The filing documents concentrated ownership: Mr. Siebel and affiliated trusts/vehicles control a significant stake in C3.ai’s equity and retain outsized voting leverage because Class B shares carry 50 votes each and are convertible on a 1-for-1 basis into Class A. The disclosure that over 20 million shares are exercisable by option within 60 days and ~620k RSUs vesting within 60 days is material to potential near-term increases in Class A float and voting patterns if conversions/exercises occur. A reported ~1.6% decline in Class A beneficial ownership versus the prior filing suggests modest disposition or dilution since February 2024, but Mr. Siebel remains a dominant holder influencing corporate decisions.
TL;DR: The filing confirms concentrated control and quantifies immediate potential share issuance from options/RSUs, relevant for governance and dilution analysis.
Key numeric disclosures—18.6% of Class A beneficial ownership, 29.3 million total shares held across classes, and 20.2 million option shares exercisable within 60 days—are directly relevant to both voting power dynamics and near-term dilution metrics. The Class B 50:1 voting multiple amplifies control beyond economic ownership; any conversion activity would change the voting mix. The modest 1.6% reported decline in Class A stake is noted but does not materially change control status given the remaining holdings.
