How did Rent the Runway's biggest investors raise their stake?
The company sold 4,225,351 new shares in a rights offering, which let existing holders buy new shares at $3.55. On Oct. 14, the last day to subscribe, CHS used its rights to buy 2,495,391 shares.
The three had agreed to buy any shares other holders passed up, an arrangement called a backstop. Under an amended version signed Oct. 20, they bought the rest on Oct. 21: 458,245 shares for CHS and 632,922 each for Gateway Runway and S3 RR. In all, the three added 4,219,480 of the new shares, leaving 5,871 for everyone else.
Who controls Rent the Runway now?
The three became the largest holders in a debt overhaul completed Oct. 28, 2025, when lender CHS US Investments swapped debt for new loans and shares, and the two firms bought some of both. Rent the Runway calls itself a "controlled company" under Nasdaq listing rules, which exempts it from some governance requirements.
Each filing adds the three stakes together for 86.2%, up from 84.5% in September, on a share count that grew to about 38.0 million from 33.8 million. Each investor also disclaims forming a "group" with the other two under securities law. Everyone else holds the other 5,247,548 shares, or 13.8%.
