Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Zillow Group, Inc. major shareholder Richard N. Barton filed Amendment No. 4 to his Schedule 13D, updating his ownership of Class A Common Stock.

He beneficially owns 4,194,265 shares of Class A, representing 9.2% of that class and 37,847,786 votes, or about 36.4% of Zillow’s combined voting power as of June 11, 2026. The increased percentage stems from Zillow’s repurchases of Class A shares; Barton reports no transactions in the past 60 days.

Insights

Equity ownership and governance analyst

Barton’s economic stake is under 10% but his voting power remains very large.

Richard N. Barton reports beneficial ownership of 4,194,265 Class A shares, or 9.2% of that class. Because many of his holdings are in super‑voting Class B shares, he controls 37,847,786 votes, equal to about 36.4% of combined voting power.

The amendment notes that Barton’s percentage of outstanding Class A increased due to Zillow’s repurchases, while he executed no Class A transactions in the prior 60 days. Governance influence therefore remains concentrated, and future repurchase activity or conversions between Class B and Class A could affect this balance.

beneficially owned financial

"This Amendment is being filed to reflect increases in the percentage of outstanding Class A Common Stock of the Issuer beneficially owned by the Reporting Person"

Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.

Class B Common Stock financial

"3,423,845 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 3,423,845 shares of Class B Common Stock"

A class B common stock is one of multiple types of a company’s ordinary shares that carries specific rights—often different voting power or dividend priority—compared with other classes. For investors it matters because those differences affect how much influence you have over company decisions, the income you might receive, and how freely the shares trade; think of it like owning a car with different keys: some keys let you start the engine and open the trunk, others only unlock the door.

sole voting power financial

"Rows 7 and 9 include (i) 190,536 shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) 3,423,845 shares ... over which the Reporting Person has sole voting and dispositive power"

Sole voting power is the exclusive right to cast votes attached to a shareholder’s stock without needing approval from anyone else. Like holding the only remote control for a TV, it lets that holder decide corporate matters such as board members, mergers, and policy changes, making it important to investors because it concentrates control and can strongly influence a company’s strategy and the value of its shares.

dispositive power financial

"Number of Shares Beneficially Owned by Each Reporting Person With: 9 | Sole Dispositive Power 3,954,261.00"

Dispositive power is the authority to decide the final outcome of an asset, legal claim, contract, or corporate action — in effect the power to dispose of or resolve something. For investors it matters because whoever holds that authority can determine who gets paid, who controls an asset or vote, and how risks and returns are allocated; think of it like holding the key that lets you lock in the winner or loser in a deal.

Schedule 13D financial

"This Amendment No. 4 (this "Amendment") to the filed on August 6, 2014, as previously amended (the ""), relates to the Class A Common Stock"

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.

co-trustee financial

"Excludes 220,004 shares of Class A Common Stock owned by the Barton Descendants' Trust ... for which the Reporting Person is a co-trustee"
