Insights

Sequoia group holds a dominant convertible position in Ethos, centered in shared voting/dispositive power.

The excerpt lists 11,857,508 shares of Class A stock issuable upon conversion of Class B stock, shown as 27.8% of Class A outstanding as of February 28, 2026. It attributes those shares across multiple Sequoia funds and management entities and explains the general partner relationships that concentrate shared voting and dispositive power.

Key dependencies include the conversion mechanics from Class B to Class A and the continued aggregation of holdings through the named funds. Public filings or company disclosures will show whether conversion rights or voting arrangements change over time.

Filing highlights complex fund/manager layering that affects reported shared control.

The disclosure enumerates direct and indirect holdings (for example, 8,027,281 shares held by one fund and 2,132,408 by another) and states which entities serve as general partners (e.g., SC U.S. VENTURE XV MANAGEMENT, SC US (TTGP)). This explains why shared voting/dispositive columns show aggregated control across related entities.

Observation: the filing documents beneficial ownership percentages and the chain of control; further changes would appear in subsequent Schedule 13 filings or Form 4s if conversions or transfers occur.
