Insights

Corporate Governance Analyst

Multiple Marciano-related trusts report direct holdings and note a >10% group stake.

The filing lists ten related reporting entities each holding discrete blocks of common stock, with several large line items such as 1,470,668 and 1,347,650 shares. The report is an initial Form 3 establishing beneficial ownership records under Section 16 and noting potential Section 13(d) group status.

The main dependency is the group's collective ownership exceeding 10%, which can affect disclosure obligations and public perception of control. Watch for consolidated filings or amendments that clarify aggregate percentage, and any Schedule 13D/A or additional Form 3/Form 4 submissions over the next weeks for changes in holdings or group structure.

Remarks:

The Reporting Persons are filing this Form 3 because they may be deemed to be members of a Section 13(d) group that collectively beneficially owns more than 10% of the Issuer's outstanding common stock. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities beneficially owned by the other group members. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported on this Form 3 except to the extent of its pecuniary interest, if any, therein, and this report shall not be deemed to be an admission that such Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose. Because no more than 10 reporting persons can file any one Form 3 through the Securities and Exchange Commission's EDGAR system, certain other group members have filed separate Form 3s.

FAQ

What did the Form 3 filed for GUESS (GES) disclose?

The Form 3 discloses that ten Marciano-related trusts and foundations directly hold multiple blocks of common stock, including holdings of 1,470,668 and 1,347,650 shares, and may form a Section 13(d) group owning more than 10%.

Does this filing confirm a single person controls GUESS (GES)?

No. The filing indicates multiple related entities reported ownership and each disclaims beneficial ownership of other members' securities except to the extent of any pecuniary interest.

Why does the Form 3 mention Section 13(d) group status?

The filers state they "may be deemed" a Section 13(d) group because the combined holdings exceed 10%, which triggers additional disclosure obligations under securities rules.

Are these holdings direct or derivative?

All listed positions on the Form 3 are reported as direct holdings of common stock; no derivative securities were reported.

When were these ownership interests reported?

The event requiring the statement is dated 08/21/2025, and signatures on the filing are dated 10/06/2025.
