Rhea-AI Filing Summary

LEVI STRAUSS & CO major shareholder Robert D. Haas reported a mix of open‑market sales and share conversions involving Class A and Class B Common Stock. As trustee, he sold 192,451 Class A shares on May 26, 2026 at a weighted average price of $22.6834 per share, and 5,832 Class A shares on May 27, 2026 at a weighted average price of $24.0044 per share. These sales came from conversions of Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock, each Class B share being convertible into one Class A share with no expiration date. After the transactions, indirect Class B holdings reported include 25,735,728 shares as trustee, 10,080,330 shares by spouse as trustee, and 278,062 shares by spouse, and the filing notes that 24,404,945 of these shares are disclaimed as beneficially owned.

Insights

Large holder records routine conversions and modest net share sale.

The filing shows Robert D. Haas, a more than ten percent owner, converting Class B Common Stock into Class A and then selling 198,283 Class A shares indirectly held as trustee. The sale prices cluster around $22.68 and $24.00 per share, based on weighted averages.

Despite the net sell direction, Haas continues to report substantial indirect Class B holdings: 25,735,728 shares as trustee, 10,080,330 shares by spouse as trustee, and 278,062 shares by spouse. Footnotes clarify that 24,404,945 of these shares are disclaimed as beneficially owned, which limits the economic signal attributable directly to him.

Because the transactions are small relative to the reported multi‑million‑share indirect position and involve conversions between share classes at a fixed one‑for‑one rate, they appear consistent with portfolio and ownership‑structure management rather than a major shift in exposure.

Class B Common Stock financial
"Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible into one share of Class A Common Stock…"
A class B common stock is one of multiple types of a company’s ordinary shares that carries specific rights—often different voting power or dividend priority—compared with other classes. For investors it matters because those differences affect how much influence you have over company decisions, the income you might receive, and how freely the shares trade; think of it like owning a car with different keys: some keys let you start the engine and open the trunk, others only unlock the door.

"Transaction code C is described as a derivative conversion of Class B into Class A."
beneficial ownership financial
"Includes 24,404,945 shares as to which the reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership."
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.
