Item 1. Security and Issuer.

Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

The classes of equity securities to which this Amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) relates are the Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Stock”), and the Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class B Stock”, and together with the Class A Stock, the “Common Stock”), of Constellation Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal offices at 207 High Point Drive, Building 100, Victor, New York 14564 (the “Company”).

Item 2. Identity and Background.

Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby revised and supplemented with the following:

(a) – (c)

20.

RES Master LLC, a Delaware limited liability company

21.

RSS Master LLC, a Delaware limited liability company

22.

RCT 2020 Investments LLC, a Delaware limited liability company


				Page 15 of 24

The principal occupation of (i) Richard Sands is to serve as Vice Chairman of the Board of the Company; and (ii) Robert Sands is to serve as Chairman of the Board of the Company.

The principal business of each of RES Master LLC, RSS Master LLC and RCT 2020 Investments LLC is investment.

(d)-(e) None of the Reporting Persons or the Group members has, during the last five years, been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which he, she or it is or was subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Proposed Declassification Transaction

From time to time over the last several years, certain of the reporting persons have discussed with members of management and/or directors of the Company the possibility that at some point it may be desirable to seek to make changes to the existing high vote/low vote structure of the Company’s common stock. These conversations have recognized that potential changes could include issuing additional high or low vote (or non-voting) stock and/or declassifying the common stock to eliminate the high vote component of the class B shares. The proposal set forth below is intended to enhance the attractiveness of the common stock to investors and to enhance the strategic flexibility of the Company for the long term, and was not made in connection with or with the intention of facilitating any specific corporate transaction.

On April 2, 2022, Robert Sands delivered the following letter to the Company:

“STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

April 2, 2022

Board of Directors

Constellation Brands, Inc.

207 High Point Drive #100

Victor, New York

Re: Declassification Transaction Proposal

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am writing on behalf of myself, Richard Sands and other members of our extended family and related entities (the “Family”) that collectively hold over 98% of the shares of Class B common stock of Constellation Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) to propose a declassification of the Company’s common stock on the terms described in this letter.

Specifically, we are proposing a transaction pursuant to which each share of Class B common stock would be converted into 1.35 shares of Class A common stock. The proposed transaction on such terms would reduce the aggregate voting power of the Family from approximately 59.5% to 19.7% of the Company. On these terms, our Family would be willing to relinquish the majority voting control which it has exercised since the inception of the Company. We believe the premium included in our proposal is supported by precedent transactions and appropriate given the significant benefits that would accrue to the Company and our stockholders. For example, a simplified structure would be better aligned with the “one vote per share” governance that is widely supported by corporate governance experts, and will increase market demand from investors who prefer single-class structures.


				Page 16 of 24

We would require that the proposed transaction be subject to specified terms and conditions to be set forth in definitive documentation, including that the completion of any such transaction be expressly conditioned on the procedures described in Kahn v. M&F Worldwide Corp. and its progeny. Accordingly, any consideration payable to the holders of Class B common stock in the potential transaction would (among other things) have to be approved (1) by a fully empowered special committee of independent directors of the Board of Directors of the Company and (2) by the holders of a majority of the Class A common stock that do not also hold shares of Class B common stock.& #xA0;The Family, in their capacity as holders of Class B common stock, will not pursue any transaction not expressly conditioned on these procedures. Our proposal also contemplates that the Company would fully indemnify and reimburse the Family with respect to its participation in the transaction, including its out-of-pocket expenses.

We are very proud of the leadership that our Family has provided to the Company over the past 70 years; just as we are pleased with the success that the Company has experienced over the past three years under the leadership of its first non-Family CEO. We believe that a declassification will help the Company continue in its growth, and that our stockholders would overwhelmingly support the proposed transaction. However, as we have stated in the past, we also would be pleased to maintain our ability to control the Company through our holdings of Class A and Class B common stock if the Board or shareholders prefer the status quo.

Please note that this letter is non-binding and any possible transaction contemplated by this letter would be subject to, among other things, negotiation of mutually acceptable definitive documentation with terms appropriate for a transaction of this type. We look forward to hearing from you, and remain committed to working with the Board for the benefit of the Company and its stockholders.

Sincerely,

/s/ Robert Sands

(1)

The numbers and percentages reported do not take into account shares of Class A Stock that can be received upon the conversion of Class 1 Stock owned as of December 31, 2021 or that can be purchased by exercising stock options that are exercisable on or within sixty (60) days after December 31, 2021 (together, the “Class 1 Shares”). These shares are not taken into account because, in accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation, any shares of Class A Stock issued upon conversion of shares of Class 1 Stock must be sold immediately in connection with the conversion and, therefore, cannot be held by the beneficial owner of the Class 1 Shares. However, the numbers of shares and percentages of ownership taking into account the shares of Class A Stock that can be received upon the conversion of Class 1 Shares are provided in footnotes where appropriate.

(2)

The reported shares of Class A Stock with respect to which Robert Sands has sole power to vote or dispose (i) include 549,301 shares of Class A Stock held by RSS Master LLC, a limited liability company that is owned by a trust for which Mr. Sands serves as trustee and sole beneficiary, and (ii) as noted in footnote (1), exclude 1,244,467 shares of Class A Stock that can be received upon conversion of Class 1 Shares held by RSS Master LLC. If the shares of Class A Stock that can be received upon the conversion of the Class 1 Shares were included in the shares of Class A Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Sands, Mr. Sands would beneficially own a total of (i) 8,160,653 shares of Class A Stock, representing 5.0% of the outstanding Class A Stock, if the shares of Class B Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Sands were not converted, and (ii) 30,907,439 shares of Class A Stock, representing 16.4% of the outstanding Class A Stock, if the shares of Class B Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Sands were converted.

(3)

The reported shares of Class A Stock over which Robert Sands has the shared power to vote or dispose include (i) 874,443 shares of Class A Stock held by two family foundations where Robert Sands serves as a director and officer, and (ii) 16,592 shares of Class A Common Stock held directly by a nonreporting person for which Mr. Sands was granted a power of attorney. Mr. Sands disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares. The reported shares of Class A Stock and Class B Stock over which Robert Sands has the shared power to dispose also include 5,483,842 shares of Class A Stock and 22,746,786 shares of Class B Stock held by several family limited partnerships of which Mr. Sands indirectly controls a co-general partner. The reporting of these shares as beneficially owned by Mr. Sands shall not be construed as an admission that Mr. Sands is the beneficial owner of such shares for purposes of Sections 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act or otherwise. The reported shares are also included in the shares reported as beneficially owned by Richard Sands and the stockholders group described in footnote (9). Amounts reflected in the tables above do not include 21,098 shares of Class A Stock owned directly, or indirectly, by Robert Sands’ spouse. Mr. Sands disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares.
