Symbotic Inc. (SYM) filed this Form 8-K on December 8, 2025 to report that its previously announced underwritten offering of 11,500,000 shares of Class A common stock was completed.
The offering consisted of 8,000,000 shares sold by the Company, including the full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase 1,500,000 additional shares, and 3,500,000 shares sold by selling securityholders. The Company states that net proceeds to it were approximately $425 milliona, after underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses, and that it plans to use them for general corporate purposes. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the shares sold by the selling securityholders.
The filing states that the offering was made under an effective shelf registration statement filed December 3, 2025 (File No. 333-291911), with a base prospectus dated December 3, 2025 and a prospectus supplement dated December 4, 2025. The Underwriting Agreement, dated December 4, 2025, was entered into among Symbotic Inc., Symbotic Holdings LLC, the selling securityholders, and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as representatives of the underwriters. It contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnification and contribution obligations.
The filing also attaches a legal opinion from Sullivan & Cromwell LLP on the issuance of the shares (Exhibit 5.1), along with the related consent (Exhibit 23.1) and the cover page interactive data file (Exhibit 104). For investors, the key takeaways are the size of the primary equity raise and the fact that the Company receives the proceeds, while the selling securityholders receive the proceeds from their portion.
