The Form 4 shows corresponding reported beneficial ownership figures of 72,053 and 76,155 shares following the transactions.

The options arose under the registrant's 2019 Management Incentive Plan.

Additional vesting schedules and expirations are disclosed in the filing.

The filing shows sole voting power for 7,086,462 shares and sole dispositive power for 9,572,853 shares. The filer is identified as an Investment Adviser (IA).

On 08/04/2025, Savers Value Village (SVV) General Counsel Richard A. Medway exercised 15,000 employee stock options at an exercise price of $1.41 and immediately sold the same number of shares at $11.48 under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted 03/10/2025. The gross spread of roughly $151 k (before taxes/fees) was realized, and Medway now holds 0 directly owned common shares.

Post-transaction, he retains 434,256 unexercised options granted under the 2019 Management Incentive Plan. Approximately 26 % are fully vested time-based options; the remaining 74 % are performance-based, with future vesting tied to stock-price and other criteria. The option block expires 06/12/2029.

The sale represents a modest liquidity event rather than a broad insider exodus and leaves substantial incentive-aligned exposure outstanding. Investors may view the trade as neutral to slightly negative given the reduction in direct share ownership, tempered by the insider’s continued leverage to upside through sizable option holdings.

Savers Value Village, Inc. (SVV) filed a Form 144 indicating that insider Richard Medway intends to sell up to 15,000 common shares through Fidelity Brokerage on or after 08/04/2025. At an estimated aggregate market value of $172,200, the proposed sale equals roughly 0.01 % of the 155.6 million shares outstanding, so the dilution effect is negligible.

The filing also lists recent activity: Medway disposed of 89,713 shares during the past three months for gross proceeds of about $986 k. The shares being sold were acquired via an option granted 06/12/2019 and exercised 08/04/2025. As required, the insider certifies that he is unaware of undisclosed material adverse information.

While the volume is small relative to float, the continued pattern of insider selling may be interpreted as a modestly negative sentiment signal. No operational metrics, guidance revisions, or other fundamental data are included, so the filing does not directly affect earnings forecasts or valuation drivers.
