Insights
Large TPG-affiliated fund sells a sizable LFST stake but retains a major position.
The filing shows a TPG-affiliated entity executed an open-market sale of 28,281,943 LifeStance common shares at $8.02 per share. This is a pure secondary sale, reflecting a reduction in the fund’s indirect position rather than new issuance by the company.
Following the sale, TPG VIII Lynnwood still directly holds 111,744,614 LifeStance shares, so the group remains a major shareholder.
