Updated Beneficial Ownership Table
The following table sets forth information known to the Company regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock as of September 30, 2026, by: (i) each of the Company’s named executive officers; (ii) each of the Company’s directors; (iii) all of the Company’s executive officers and directors as a group; and (iv) each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by the Company to beneficially own more than 5% of any class of the Company’s voting securities.
Information with respect to beneficial ownership is based on information furnished to the Company by each director, executive officer or stockholder who holds more than 5% of any class of the Company’s voting securities, and Schedules 13G and 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as the case may be. Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC and generally means that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he or she possesses sole or shared voting or investment power of that security, and includes options and warrants that are exercisable or restricted stock units (“RSU”) that vest within 60 days of September 30, 2026. Options to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock that are exercisable and RSUs that vest within 60 days of September 30, 2026, are deemed to be beneficially owned by the persons holding these options and RSUs for the purpose of computing percentage ownership of that person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing any other person’s ownership percentage. Except as indicated in the footnotes below, each of the beneficial owners named in the table below has, to the Company’s knowledge, sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock listed as beneficially owned by him or her, except for shares owned jointly with that person’s spouse.
The Company has based its calculation of beneficial ownership on (1) 41,714,064 shares of Class A common stock and (2) 23,269,929 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2026. Unless otherwise indicated, the address for each of the stockholders in the table below is c/o Ethos Technologies Inc., 90 New Montgomery Street, Suite 1500, San Francisco, CA.
