Insights
TL;DR: A sizable open-market sale reduced the group stake and a temporary lock-up waiver enabled the trade; ownership remains a meaningful minority position.
The Reporting Persons executed a sale of 5,000,000 ADSs at $47.86 per ADS, equal to 10 billion common shares, while retaining aggregate beneficial ownership of 31,007,576,002 ADS-equivalent shares (5.4%). The filing clearly states the outstanding share base used for the percent calculation and documents the lock-up waiver and subsequent customary lock-up through September 19, 2025. These are routine disclosure items for Rule 13d filers and quantify ownership and recent liquidity events without providing transaction motivations or future plans.
TL;DR: The amendment documents compliance with reporting rules after a waiver-enabled sale and confirms continued shared control across affiliated vehicles.
The amendment incorporates cover page percentages and specifies that multiple affiliated entities and an individual (Victor Khosla) hold shared voting and dispositive power over the disclosed positions. It also documents waiver of a previously disclosed lock-up and short-term customary lock-up tied to the sale. These disclosures fulfill Schedule 13D obligations and clarify the group structure and recent transfer activity but do not include new contractual governance changes beyond the lock-up waiver and extension.
