Rhea-AI Filing Summary

The Reporting Persons—SoftBank Group Corp. and affiliated entities—filed Amendment No. 18 to their Schedule 13D for T-Mobile US common stock. On August 6, 2025 Project 4 LLC, Project 6 LLC and Project 9 LLC sold an aggregate of 13,000,000 shares in an unregistered block sale under Rule 144 for net proceeds of approximately $3.02 billion, representing about 1.16% of outstanding common stock as of July 18, 2025. Individual sale breakdown: Project 4 sold 3,566,400 shares, Project 6 sold 182,043, and Project 9 sold 9,251,557. As a result, the Reporting Persons’ collective beneficial ownership fell below 5% and this Amendment is the final Schedule 13D filing; the cover pages show SoftBank beneficially owns 50,861,065 shares (4.52%). The filing also states the Reporting Persons will continue to monitor and evaluate their investment.

Positive

  • Net proceeds of approximately $3.02 billion realized from the block sale on August 6, 2025.
  • Final Schedule 13D amendment filed because the Reporting Persons’ collective ownership fell below the 5% threshold.
  • Sale size documented: 13,000,000 shares sold, representing approximately 1.16% of outstanding shares as of July 18, 2025.

Negative

  • Collective beneficial ownership declined below 5%, with SoftBank reported at 50,861,065 shares (4.52%) after the sale.
  • Reduction in disclosed stake from prior filings may change the Reporting Persons’ regulatory reporting status and public disclosure scope.

Insights

TL;DR: SoftBank executed a 13M-share block sale for ~$3.02B, lowering collective ownership below 5% and ending Schedule 13D reporting.

The transaction is clearly documented in the amendment: 13,000,000 shares sold on August 6, 2025 for net proceeds of about $3.02 billion, equal to ~1.16% of the outstanding common stock as of July 18, 2025. The filing reports post-sale beneficial ownership for SoftBank of 50,861,065 shares (4.52%), and states this is the final amendment because the Reporting Persons no longer exceed the 5% reporting threshold. These facts are material to disclosure and shareholder registries.

TL;DR: Crossing below the 5% threshold ends reporting duties; the amendment documents a definitive block sale and post-sale ownership figures.

The Schedule 13D amendment records the mechanics and scale of the block sale, the specific share counts sold by each Project LLC, and the legal conclusion that the Reporting Persons will cease to be Section 13(d) Reporting Persons. The filing reiterates that certain shares were held by Project entities and subject to a Proxy Agreement as previously disclosed. The document is procedural and focused on disclosure compliance.






If the filing person has previously filed a statement on Schedule 13G to report the acquisition that is the subject of this Schedule 13D, and is filing this schedule because of §§ 240.13d-1(e), 240.13d-1(f) or 240.13d-1(g), check the following box.
