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.

Schedule 13D regulatory
"Item 4 of the Schedule 13 D is hereby amended by the addition"
A Schedule 13D is a legal document that investors file with regulators when they buy a large enough stake in a company to potentially influence its management or decisions. It provides details about the investor’s intention, ownership stake, and plans, helping other investors understand who is gaining control and what their motives might be.
10b5-1 trading arrangement regulatory
"SFS Corp. adopted a 10b5-1 trading arrangement (the "10b5-1 Plan")."
Voting Limitation regulatory
"in no event shall a holder of common stock of the Issuer be entitled to vote in excess of 79% ... (the "Voting Limitation")"
beneficially own financial
"is deemed to beneficially own the 1,287,482,620 shares of Class A Stock"
Beneficially own means having the economic rights and risks of a security—such as the right to receive dividends, sell the shares, or profit from price changes—whether or not your name appears on the official share register. Think of it like renting a car: you use it and reap the benefits even if the title lists someone else. Investors care because beneficial ownership determines who truly controls value, must be disclosed under securities rules, and can signal potential influence or trading activity that affects a stock’s price.
Class D Stock financial
"SFS Corp. directly holds an aggregate of 1,287,482,620 shares of Class D Stock"
Class B Units financial
"convertible or exchangeable, along with the Class B Units in Holdings LLC, into shares of Class A Stock."
