Mat Ishbia (NYSE: UWMC) still controls 79% of UWM voting power
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
UWM Holdings Corporation’s controlling shareholder, Mat Ishbia, and SFS Holding Corp. have filed Amendment No. 14 to their Schedule 13D. The amendment updates their disclosure to reflect sales of securities made under a previously adopted 10b5-1 trading arrangement.
SFS Holding Corp. directly holds 1,287,482,620 shares of Class D Stock, which are convertible or exchangeable, with related Class B Units, into Class A Common Stock. These securities give the reporting persons beneficial ownership of 1,287,482,620 shares of Class A Stock, representing 80.4% of the outstanding Class A shares, based on 313,880,910 Class A shares outstanding.
Because of a Voting Limitation in UWM’s charter, the reporting persons’ voting power is capped at 79% of the total voting power despite holding all Class D Stock, which carries ten votes per share. Without this limitation, they would hold 99.9% of the issuer’s voting power. Including additional shares held directly, Mat Ishbia reports beneficial ownership of 1,292,717,132 shares, or 80.7% of the Class A Stock.
