During the last five years, the Reporting Person has not, and, to the Reporting Person’s knowledge, none of the Related Parties has, (i) been convicted in a criminal proceeding of the type specified in Item 2(d) of Schedule 13D, or (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
The Reporting Person has had a commercial relationship with Warehouse Technologies LLC (“Warehouse”), the entity with which the Issuer completed a business combination as described below, and its affiliates since 2015. The Reporting Person is party to a Master Automation Agreement with Warehouse (as amended and restated, the “MAA”), which was entered into in 2017, amended and restated in 2019, amended again in 2021, and amended and restated in 2022.
In connection with its commercial relationship with Warehouse, and prior to the transactions described below, the Reporting Person has over time entered into various agreements with Warehouse pursuant to which the Reporting Person received warrants to purchase units of Warehouse, with the exercisability of such warrants contingent on the satisfaction of certain commercial conditions.
CUSIP NO. 87151X101 | SCHEDULE 13D | ||||||||||
On December 12, 2021, the Reporting Person entered into an Investment and Subscription Agreement (the “Investment and Subscription Agreement”) with Warehouse. Pursuant to such agreement, and in connection with the amendment and restatement of the MAA on May 20, 2022, the Reporting Person exercised its warrants to purchase 267,281 units of Warehouse, or 3.7% of the total outstanding units of Warehouse as calculated following the exercise of the warrant and issuance of units thereunder, at an aggregate purchase price of $103,980,327, which the Reporting Person funded with working capital. Warehouse also issued to the Reporting Person a new warrant to purchase 258,972 units of Warehouse, or 3.5% of the total outstanding units of Warehouse as calculated on a pro forma basis at the time of the issuance of the warrant, subject to customary adjustments, at an exercise price of $614.34 per unit.
On December 12, 2021, Warehouse and Symbotic Holdings LLC (“Symbotic Holdings”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warehouse, entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with SVF Investment Corp. 3 (“SVF 3”) and Saturn Acquisition (DE) Corp (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of SVF 3. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on June 7, 2022, as described in more detail in the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 13, 2022, (i) Warehouse merged with and into Symbotic Holdings (the “Company Reorganization”), with Symbotic Holdings surviving the merger (“Interim Symbotic”) and (ii) immediately thereafter, Merger Sub merged with and into Interim Symbotic (the “Merger”), with Interim Symbotic surviving the merger as a subsidiary of the Issuer (“OpCo”). Simultaneously with the Business Combination, SVF 3 changed its corporate name to “Symbotic Inc.” (as referred to herein as the “Issuer”). In addition, at the effective time of the Merger, OpCo entered into its Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “Second A&R LLC Agreement”), which, among other things, provided that the Issuer is the managing member of OpCo in an “Up-C” structure.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, in the Company Reorganization, the Reporting Person’s 714,022 units of Warehouse were converted into the right to receive 43,756,942 common units of Interim Symbotic, and in the Merger, such units of Interim Symbotic were converted into the right to receive 43,756,942 common units of OpCo (“OpCo Units”) and an equal number of shares of the Issuer’s Class V-1 common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class V-1 Common Stock”)as well as the contingent right to receive certain earnout interests, as set forth in the Merger Agreement. Holders of OpCo Units have the right to cause OpCo to redeem all or a portion of their OpCo Units, which may be settled for, at the Issuer’s election, (i) one share of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer, subject to conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassification, or (ii) an equivalent amount of cash. Upon any such redemption, a number of the holder’s shares of Class V-1 Common Stock equal to the
CUSIP NO. 87151X101 | SCHEDULE 13D | ||||||||||
number of OpCo Units redeemed would be canceled. The Reporting Person is also entitled to receive additional future consideration with respect to the Merger in the form of amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement as described in Item 4 below.
In addition, on December 12, 2021, the Reporting Person entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “PIPE Subscription Agreement”) with SVF 3 and Symbotic Holdings, pursuant to which the Reporting Person subscribed for an aggregate amount of 15,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer at a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “PIPE Investment”). The settlement of the PIPE Investment occurred on June 7, 2022, immediately prior to the closing of the Merger. The source of the consideration paid by the Reporting Person for the shares of Common Stock purchased in the PIPE Investment was working capital.
In addition, in connection with the Company Reorganization and the Merger, the Reporting Person’s outstanding warrant to purchase 258,972 units of Warehouse was canceled and exchanged for a warrant (the “Warrant”), which allows the Reporting Person to acquire 15,870,411 OpCo Units (subject to dilution and customary adjustments) upon satisfaction of certain vesting conditions, at an exercise price of $10.00 per OpCo Unit.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The foregoing standstill restrictions will be in effect until the earlier of (i) December 12, 2025 and (ii) the later of (a) the date on which the Reporting Person owns less than 5% of the fully diluted equity interests of the Issuer and (b) the date that is six months after the Reporting Person no longer has the board observer rights described above.
Lock-Up
CUSIP NO. 87151X101 | SCHEDULE 13D | ||||||||||
Pursuant to the Investment and Subscription Agreement, the Reporting Person also agreed not to transfer (except to an affiliated entity), without the consent of the Issuer, any equity securities in the Issuer that are beneficially owned by the Reporting Person until the earlier of (a) 180 days after the date of the Merger closing and (b) the date on which the Issuer completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Issuer’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of publicly traded common stock for cash, securities or other property.
Change of Control Notice Rights and Exclusivity
Pursuant to the MAA, during the Build Out Phase (as defined in the MAA) the Issuer has agreed to provide the Reporting Person with written notice in the event that the Issuer, or, to the knowledge of certain key employees of the Issuer, Richard B. Cohen or any member of the Cohen Group (as defined in the MAA) (i) determines to explore strategic alternatives that would reasonably be expected to result in a Substantial Sale of Interests or a Change of Control of the Issuer (each as defined in the MAA), or (ii) receives a bona fide written offer or proposal from a third party for a Change of Control or Substantial Sale of Interests. The Reporting Person has also entered into a Side Letter Agreement (the “Side Letter”) with Richard B. Cohen, pursuant to which Mr. Cohen has also agreed to directly provide notice to the Reporting Person in the case of either of the events listed in (i) and (ii) above.
In addition, under the MAA and the Side Letter, during the Build Out Phase, to the extent not in conflict with or breach or violation of applicable law (including fiduciary duties), without having provided a certain period of prior notice to the Reporting Person, none of the Issuer, Mr. Cohen or the Cohen Group will (x) enter into a definitive agreement that would reasonably be expected by the Issuer or Mr. Cohen, as applicable, to result in a Substantial Sale of Interests or a Change of Control of the Issuer or (y) otherwise limit its, his or their ability (including through imposition of a break-up fee) to pursue a Substantial Sale of Interests by the Issuer, Cohen or any member of the Cohen Group to the Reporting Person or a Change of Control of the Issuer with the Reporting Person during such period.
Under the Side Letter, during the Build Out Phase, if Cohen or any other member of the Cohen Group, or to the actual knowledge of Cohen, any other current or future owner of Interests, begins a process to explore strategic alternatives that would reasonably be expected by Cohen to result in a Substantial Sale of Interests by Cohen or any member of the Cohen Group or a Change of Control of the Issuer, then Cohen will, in good faith and to the extent not in conflict with or breach or violation of applicable Law (including fiduciary duties), allow Walmart to participate therein on substantially similar terms and conditions applicable to all other third party participants in such process, including with respect to the application of the criteria of inclusion or exclusion in such process. Similarly, under the MAA, during the Build Out Phase, the Issuer has made a corresponding agreement to allow the Reporting Person to participate in a similar process related to the Issuer as described above.
CUSIP NO. 87151X101 | SCHEDULE 13D | ||||||||||
The MAA and Side Letter also provide that during the Build Out Phase, the Issuer and Mr. Cohen will provide the Reporting Person notice of the consummation of a Change of Control of the Issuer or any Substantial Sale of Interests by Cohen or any member of the Cohen group within four business days thereof (with the issuance of a press release or filing of a Form 8-K or Schedule 13D satisfying the notice obligation).
Registration Rights Agreement
On June 7, 2022, in connection with the completion of the Merger and as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Issuer, SVF Sponsor III (DE) LLC (the “Sponsor”), the Reporting Person, certain legacy directors of the Issuer, and certain directors, officers and stockholders of the Issuer (collectively, the “Registration Rights Holders”) entered into that certain Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer has agreed to file a shelf registration statement with respect to the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) held by the Registration Rights Holders within 45 days of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement. Up to three times in any 12-month period, certain of the Registration Rights Holders may request to sell all or any portion of their Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering that is registered pursuant to the shelf registration statement, so long as the total offering price is reasonably expected to exceed $25,000,000. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides for customary “demand” and “piggyback” registration rights. The Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Issuer will pay certain expenses relating to such registrations and indemnify the equityholders party thereto against certain liabilities.
Further, the Reporting Person, along with certain other equityholders of the Issuer, agrees that it will not transfer any OpCo Units (or shares of Class A Common Stock received in exchange therefor) for 180 days after the closing date of the Merger, subject in each case to exceptions set out in the Registration Rights Agreement. Notwithstanding this provision, the equityholders of the Issuer and their respective permitted transferees may make transfers during the lock-up period: (i) to the Issuer’s or Symbotic Holdings’ officers or directors, any affiliate or family member of any of the Issuer’s Symbotic Holdings’ officers or directors; (ii) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of the individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization; (iii) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (iv) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; or (v) if otherwise permitted under the Second A&R LLC Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (i) through (v), any such permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by the foregoing transfer restrictions.
Tax Receivable Agreement
CUSIP NO. 87151X101 | SCHEDULE 13D | ||||||||||
On June 7, 2022, in connection with the completion of the Merger and as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Issuer, OpCo and each of the members of OpCo (the “TRA Holders”), including the Reporting Person, entered into that certain Tax Receivable Agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Issuer will generally be required to pay the TRA Holders 85% of the amount of the cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal and state income tax that the Issuer actually realizes (or are deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the Closing as a result of (i) the existing tax basis in certain assets of OpCo that is allocable to the relevant OpCo Units, (ii) any step-up in tax basis in OpCo’s assets resulting from (a) certain purchases of OpCo Units, (b) future exchanges of OpCo Units for cash or shares of Class A Common Stock, (c) certain distributions (if any) by Symbotic Holdings and (d) payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and (iii) tax benefits related to imputed interest deemed to be paid by the Issuer as a result of payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless the Issuer exercises its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement for an amount representing the present value of anticipated future tax benefits under the Tax Receivable Agreement or certain other acceleration events occur.
Moreover, the Tax Receivable Agreement provides that, in the event that (i) the Issuer exercises its early termination rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement, (ii) the Issuer experiences certain changes of control (as described in the Tax Receivable Agreement) or (iii) the Issuer breaches any of the Issuer’s material obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Issuer’s obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement may accelerate and it could be required to make a lump-sum cash payment to each TRA Holder equal to the present value of all future payments that would have otherwise been made under the Tax Receivable Agreement, which lump-sum payment would be based on certain assumptions, including those relating to the Issuer’s future taxable income.
Payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally be made pro rata among all TRA Holders entitled to payments on an annual basis to the extent the Issuer has sufficient taxable income to utilize the increased depreciation and amortization deductions. The availability of sufficient taxable income to utilize the increased depreciation and amortization expense will not be determined until such time as the financial results for the year in question are known and tax estimates prepared, which typically occurs within 90 days after the end of the applicable calendar year. The Issuer expects to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, to the extent they are required, within 125 days after its federal income tax return is filed for each fiscal year. Interest on such payments will begin to accrue at a rate equal to SOFR plus 100 basis points from the due date (without extensions) of such tax return.
CUSIP NO. 87151X101 | SCHEDULE 13D | ||||||||||

Other than as described above, the Reporting Person does not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)–(j) of Schedule 13D, although, depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Person may change its purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto at any time.
