Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Cerebras Systems Inc. Chief Technology Officer and 10% owner Sean Lie reported internal equity restructuring and tax-related share withholding. On May 13, 2026, 96,127 shares of Class A common stock were withheld at $185.00 per share to cover tax liability on vesting of restricted stock units, which the filing states was not a market sale.

On May 15, 2026, the filing shows multiple "J" code transactions reflecting reclassification of Lie’s holdings so that Class A common stock and related awards were converted into Class B common stock in an exempt transaction under Rule 16b-7, in connection with the company’s initial public offering. Following these changes, Lie holds 8,209,731 shares of Class B common stock directly and 180,600 shares indirectly through a spouse, plus several vested stock options over Class B common stock.
