Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This Amendment No. 2 (this Amendment) to Schedule 13D relates to Class A Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the Class A Common Stock), of Levi Strauss & Co., a Delaware corporation (the Issuer), and amends and supplements the initial statement on Schedule 13D filed by the reporting person on February 18, 2020, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed by the reporting person on April 7, 2020 (as amended, the Schedule 13D). The items below modify the information disclosed under the corresponding item of the Schedule 13D. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Schedule 13D. The address of the principal executive office of the Issuer is: 1155 Battery Street, San Francisco California, 94111.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby replaced with the following:

(a) The Reporting Person beneficially owns an aggregate of 4,166 shares of Class A Common Stock and 4,080,901 shares of Class B Common Stock, which are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder, which together represent approximately 4.0% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock. This percentage is based on 97,567,627 total shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on November 28, 2021, as reported by the Issuers transfer agent, plus the assumed conversion of 4,080,901 shares of Class B Common Stock deemed beneficially owned by the Reporting Person, as described in this Schedule 13D, into shares of Class A Common Stock. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of all of the shares reported in this Statement, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.

(b) The Reporting Person has:

 

(i)

Sole power to vote or to direct the vote: See Row 7 of cover page hereto.

 

(ii)

Shared power to vote or to direct the vote: See Row 8 of cover page hereto.

 

(iii)

Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: See Row 9 of cover page hereto.

 

(iv)

Shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: See Row 10 of cover page hereto.

(c) The Reporting Person serves as the sole trustee of the Walter J. Haas 2020 Trust 1A, which holds 740,832 shares of Class B Common Stock, the Walter J.

In his capacity as trustee of the foregoing trusts, the Reporting Person has the sole power to vote and dispose of the shares held by the trusts, and therefore the Reporting Person is deemed to beneficially own the shares held by such trusts.

On December 6, 2021, certain trusts for which the Reporting Person serves as trustee distributed an aggregate of 1,509,174 shares of Class B Common Stock to a trust beneficiary. Such shares are no longer deemed beneficially owned by the Reporting Person.

(d) The shares held by the Walter J. Haas 2020 Trust 1A, the Walter J. Haas 2020 Trust 2A and the Walter J. Haas 2021 Trust 1A are held for the benefit of Walter J. Haas and his descendants.

(e) The Reporting Person ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Class A Common Stock as of December 6, 2021.
