The filing states Vanguard beneficially owns 0 shares of AppLovin Common Stock and reports 0% of the class. It attributes the change to an internal realignment on January 12, 2026 and reliance on SEC Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998).

Corporate Governance Specialist

Amendment reflects reporting structure change, not a trade by the parent entity.

The text explains that certain subsidiaries "will report beneficial ownership separately" and that the parent "no longer has, or is deemed to have, beneficial ownership" over securities held by those subsidiaries. This is a reporting allocation under the cited SEC release.

Monitor future Schedule 13G/A entries from named subsidiaries for the actual holdings; the amendment itself lists no registered shares for the parent.
