Insights
TL;DR: Capital World Investors holds a material 10.7% position in Illumina, disclosed as passive ownership.
The filing documents a sizeable holding of 16,866,776 shares (10.7%), which is material to holders given the total outstanding is stated as 158.3 million. The breakdown between voting and dispositive power shows near-complete control by CWI over votes and dispositions reported, which is relevant for shareholder vote math and potential market liquidity. The statement that the position is held in the ordinary course and not for influencing control signals passive intent under Schedule 13G rather than activist intent under Schedule 13D.
TL;DR: Schedule 13G classification and certification point to passive ownership with no declared plan to influence control.
The filer certifies that the shares were not acquired to change or influence issuer control and were acquired in the ordinary course of business. That classification affects disclosure obligations and suggests CWI does not intend to pursue governance actions based on this filing. Investors should note the exact voting and dispositive numbers reported: 16,802,393 sole voting power and 16,866,776 sole dispositive power, which clarify the filers functional authorities over the position.
