Item 1. Security and Issuer.

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

The class of equity securities to which this Amendment No. 10 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) relates is the Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A 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 Schedule 13D is hereby revised and supplemented with the following:

(c) The principal occupation of (i) Richard Sands is to serve as a non-executive director of the Company; and (ii) Robert Sands is to serve as non-executive Chairman of the Board of the Company.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On November 10, 2022, following the filing by the Company of an amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) with the Delaware Secretary of State, each share of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Class B Stock”) was reclassified, exchanged and converted into one share of Class A Stock and the right to receive $64.64 in cash, without interest (the “Reclassification”).                

In connection with the completion of the Reclassification, the Company and the Reporting Persons entered into a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which the Reporting Persons are provided certain rights relating to the registration of their Class A Stock (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).


Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Reporting Persons are provided certain rights relating to the registration of their common stock, including (1) a requirement that the Company use its reasonable best efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and have declared effective, as promptly as practicable following the execution of the Registration Rights Agreement, a “shelf” registration statement providing for the registration of the Reporting Persons’ shares of common stock and (2) specified demand and piggyback registration rights.

The description of the Registration Rights Agreement set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated by reference herein.

Subject to the restrictions (including without limitation restrictions on acquisition and transfer of Company securities) set forth in the Reclassification Agreement and described in the Ninth Amendment, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to acquire or dispose of securities of the Company from time to time, and to take or pursue any other actions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. As previously disclosed in the Company’s definitive proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC on September 21, 2022 in connection with the Reclassification, during the negotiation of the Reclassification Agreement, the Reporting Persons expressed a desire to the special committee of the Board for flexibility to sell a portion of their equity in the Company in the near term following a consummated reclassification transaction for purposes of liquidity and diversification.

Intervening Transactions:

Between the date of the Ninth Amendment and the date hereof, the transactions described below occurred, some of which affected the beneficial ownership of certain of the Reporting Persons:

 

   

Following the death of Marilyn Sands, The Marilyn Sands Master Trust sold 322,666 shares of Class A Stock and MAS Holdings sold 183,332 shares of Class A Stock on July 15, 2022.

 

   

Also on July 15, 2022, (a) RSS Master LLC acquired upon conversion of outstanding shares of Class 1 Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Class 1 Stock”) and immediately sold in connection with such conversion 1,244,467 shares of Class A Stock and (b) RES Master LLC acquired upon conversion of outstanding shares of Class 1 Stock and immediately sold in connection with such conversion 952,282 shares of Class A Stock. Such conversions, acquisitions and dispositions did not affect the number of shares of Class A Stock beneficially owned by RSS Master LLC or RES Master LLC because, as previously disclosed in the Schedule 13D, in accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation, any shares of Class A Stock issued upon conversion of Class 1 Stock must be sold immediately in connection with the conversion and cannot be held by the beneficial owner of the shares of Class 1 Stock, and accordingly none of the shares of Class A Stock that can or could be acquired upon conversion of Class 1 Stock are or were considered to be beneficially owned by the owner of such Class 1 Stock.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Paragraphs (a) – (c) of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D are hereby revised and supplemented with the following:

The table below sets forth the shares of Class A Stock beneficially owned by each Reporting Person. The percentages of ownership were calculated on the basis of 184,433,194 shares of Class A Stock outstanding as of November 10, 2022. In the aggregate, the Reporting Persons beneficially own a total of 29,878,672 shares of Class A Stock.
