Alphabet Inc SEC Filings

Alphabet Inc. reported that the European Commission has found its Google LLC subsidiary violated European competition laws through alleged “self-preferencing” practices in its advertising technology business on both the buy-side and sell-side. The decision includes a €2.95 billion fine and an order for Google to cease and desist the cited practices. Google plans to appeal the ruling, and Alphabet expects to record the fine as an expense in the third quarter of 2025, which will directly reduce reported earnings for that period.

Alphabet Inc. reports that on September 2, 2025, Judge Amit P. Mehta of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued a remedies decision in the U.S. Department of Justice’s antitrust case against Google LLC, Alphabet’s subsidiary, related to online search. This remedies decision follows a previously disclosed liability decision dated August 5, 2024.

The court’s decision imposes limits on how Google distributes its services, and requires Google to share search data with and offer syndication services to certain competitors. These court-ordered obligations directly affect how Google operates its search business and interacts with other companies in the online search ecosystem.

The notice includes the required representation regarding absence of undisclosed material adverse information and references a trading plan or instructions where applicable.

Frances H. Arnold, an Alphabet Inc. director, reported multiple dispositions of Class C shares and Google Stock Units. On 08/28/2025 she sold 102 shares of Alphabet Class C capital stock at $207.80 per share, leaving 17,387 Class C shares beneficially owned. The filing also reports dispositions of 664, 1,311, 1,390 and 1,932 Google Stock Units (GSUs). The GSUs convert one-for-one into Class C shares as they vest and have scheduled monthly vesting patterns described in the filing.

Amie Thuener O'Toole, VP and Chief Accounting Officer at Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL), reported routine equity activity tied to previously granted Google Stock Units (GSUs). Multiple GSUs vested and were either withheld to satisfy tax obligations or converted to Class C capital stock. Several dispositions at an indicated tax-withholding price of $206.72 reduced her direct GSU balances, while a separate acquisition of 954 shares of Class C capital stock was recorded at no cash price. Following the reported transactions the filing shows direct beneficial ownership including approximately 20,071 Class C shares and 8,940 Class A shares. The filing restates the GSU vesting timetable: monthly vesting beginning March 25, 2025, then monthly schedules through March 1, 2027, subject to continued employment.

Frances H. Arnold, a director of Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL), filed an amended Form 4 reporting a corrected insider sale date. The amendment updates a previously reported sale so the transaction date is July 30, 2025 (not June 30, 2025).

The amendment was submitted to correct the record and is signed by an attorney-in-fact on behalf of Ms. Arnold.
