This Post-Effective Amendment No. 4 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-258991) filed with the Securities Exchange Commission by Berkshire Grey, Inc. (the “Registrant”) on August 20, 2021 and amended on March 29, 2022, April 5, 2022 and March 30, 2023 (the “Registration Statement”) pertaining to the registration for the resale by certain selling securityholders named in the Registration Statement of (i) up to 205,457,460 shares of the Registrant’s Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), and (ii) up to 5,166,667 private placement warrants of the Registrant. The Registration Statement also pertains to the registration of up to 14,750,000 shares of Common Stock to be issued by the Registrant upon the exercise of outstanding warrants.

 

The Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment to deregister any and all securities that remain unsold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof.

On July 20, 2023, SoftBank completed its acquisition of the Registrant.

 

As a result of the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, the Registrant has terminated any and all offerings of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. In accordance with the undertakings made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold at the termination of the offerings, the Registrant hereby removes from registration all securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statement, if any, as of the date hereof.
