Golden Arrow Sponsor Reports 250,000-Share Warrant; Multiple Open-Market Sales Disclosed

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Amendment No. 4 to a Schedule 13D reports that Golden Arrow Sponsor, LLC holds one warrant exercisable into 250,000 shares of Bolt Projects Holdings, Inc. common stock. Those shares represent 10.8% of the class per the cover pages and the Reporting Persons calculate percent based on 2,311,779 shares outstanding as of the filing date (the cover pages also reference 2,061,779 shares outstanding as of August 6, 2025). The warrant shares are held of record by the Sponsor and are beneficially owned, on an indirect/shared basis, by Timothy Babich, Jacob Doft, Lance Hirt and Andrew Rechtschaffen. The amendment adds updates to Items 5, 6 and 7 and discloses recent open-market sales by the Sponsor totaling multiple transactions on July 8, July 17, August 11, August 12 and August 13, 2025 with detailed share counts and weighted-average prices included in Item 5(c).

Positive

• Transparent disclosure of warrant ownership, percent of class and beneficial ownership structure.
• Detailed reporting of recent open-market sales (dates, share counts, weighted-average prices) increases market clarity.
• Joint Filing Agreement filed to formalize coordinated reporting among Reporting Persons.

Negative

• Potential dilution: the exercisable warrant converts into 250,000 shares representing 10.8% of the class.
• Significant secondary selling by the Sponsor (e.g., 205,759 shares sold on July 8, 2025) increases near-term share supply.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Sponsor holds an exercisable warrant for 250,000 shares (~10.8%), with recent sizeable open-market sales disclosed.

The filing clarifies beneficial ownership: a single warrant held by Golden Arrow Sponsor, LLC converts into 250,000 shares. The disclosure of the Sponsor's multiple open-market sales, including 205,759 shares on July 8, 2025 at a weighted average of $3.425 and other sales through August 13, 2025, is material for float and near-term supply considerations. The amendment does not state any change to the parties' intentions regarding control or additional transactions beyond the reported sales and the filing of a Joint Filing Agreement as an exhibit.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Reporting persons share voting/dispositive power over warrant shares; filings update governance-related disclosures and include a joint filing agreement.

The amendment reiterates that Messrs. Babich, Doft, Hirt and Rechtschaffen share voting and dispositive power over the Sponsor-held warrant shares and disclaim beneficial ownership except for pecuniary interest. Item 6 references prior Item 4 language from Amendment No. 3 and Item 7 adds a Joint Filing Agreement as an exhibit, preserving coordinated disclosure obligations among the Reporting Persons. No new contractual arrangements altering control are disclosed.
