amazon, ford sells 8m rivian shares for $214m and is still its fourth-largest shareholder

Ford sold eight million Rivian shares for $26.80 per piece, amounting to $214 million in total, according to a Form 4 SEC filing on May 10, 2022.

Despite selling a chunk of its Rivian shares, Ford remains the EV manufacturer’s fourth-largest shareholder. The legacy automaker still holds 94 million Rivian shares, amounting to a 10.5% stake, reported Reuters.

Earlier this week, Ford’s plans to sell 8 million Rivian shares were made public. The lockup period for Rivian’s IPO expired on Sunday, May 8, allowing the legacy automaker and other early investors to sell their shares.

Ford and Amazon both attributed significant financial blows due to their Rivian investments. Ford reported a net loss of $3.1 billion, while Amazon reported a loss of $7.6 billion.

As of March 31, 2022, Rivian has produced 3,568 vehicles. It is also looking to ramp its vehicle production to meet the 100,000 EDV orders it received from Amazon.
