Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Cerebras Systems Inc. (CBRS) received an amended Schedule 13D from Eclipse-affiliated funds and Lior Susan updating their ownership following an internal restructuring. On August 14, 2026, Eclipse Continuity I, Eclipse I, Eclipse SPV II, and Eclipse SPV XIII made a pro rata, in-kind distribution of an aggregate of 133,660, 921,422, 1,093,594, and 100,179 Cerebras Class A shares, respectively, to their limited and general partners for no consideration. Lior Susan acquired 104,811 shares directly and an estate-planning vehicle he controls received 119,816 shares in this distribution. After these changes, Susan is reported to beneficially own 9,555,990 Class A shares, or 4.3% of Cerebras’ total common stock outstanding, based on 223,848,533 total Class A and Class B shares as of August 5, 2026. The filing states that as of August 14, 2026, the reporting persons ceased to be beneficial owners of more than five percent of Cerebras’ outstanding shares.

Filing Explained

The completed transfer changed beneficial ownership reporting without describing new company shares, while Class B’s twenty-vote structure separates ownership from voting influence.

The disclosed August 14 transfer was completed among existing funds, Lior Susan, and an estate-planning vehicle for no consideration; the filing does not describe a Cerebras share issuance or proceeds to the company.

The filing separates economic ownership from voting mechanics: Class A and Class B shares rank equally economically, but Class B carries twenty votes per share versus one for Class A, while Susan reports 9,197,415 shares of shared voting power and 358,575 shares of sole voting power.

Total common stock outstanding 223,848,533 shares Total Class A and Class B common stock outstanding as of August 5, 2026
Class A common stock outstanding 112,247,109 shares Class A shares outstanding as of August 5, 2026
Class B common stock outstanding 111,601,424 shares Class B shares outstanding as of August 5, 2026
Lior Susan beneficial ownership 9,555,990 shares (4.3%) Beneficial ownership of Cerebras Class A common stock after August 14, 2026 distribution
Eclipse SPV II holdings 4,472,603 shares (2.0%) Class A shares beneficially owned with shared voting and dispositive power
Eclipse Ventures Fund I holdings 3,768,448 shares (1.7%) Class A shares beneficially owned with shared voting and dispositive power
Eclipse Continuity I holdings 546,645 shares (0.2%) Class A shares beneficially owned with shared voting and dispositive power
August 2026 distribution to Lior Susan 104,811 shares Class A shares received directly by Lior Susan in pro rata, in-kind distribution
pro rata, in-kind distribution financial
"engaged in a pro rata, in-kind distribution of (i) 133,660 shares"
beneficial ownership financial
"ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent"
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.
pecuniary interest financial
"Except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein"
estate-planning vehicle financial
"160,791 shares of Class A common stock held by an estate-planning vehicle"
shared voting power financial
"Shared Voting Power 4,472,603.00"
Shared voting power occurs when two or more parties jointly have the right to vote or decide how a block of company shares is cast, like co-owners who must agree before moving a piece of furniture. Investors care because who controls voting rights affects board elections, major corporate decisions and takeover outcomes, and shared control can alter regulatory disclosures and the practical influence any holder has over a company’s direction and value.
dispositive power financial
"Shared Dispositive Power 9,197,415.00"
Dispositive power is the authority to decide the final outcome of an asset, legal claim, contract, or corporate action — in effect the power to dispose of or resolve something. For investors it matters because whoever holds that authority can determine who gets paid, who controls an asset or vote, and how risks and returns are allocated; think of it like holding the key that lets you lock in the winner or loser in a deal.
