Mirrored his-and-hers GRATs, laddered into vintages
Two founders, two companies, no connection between them, and the same architecture sitting in the holdings tables of filings made one day apart.
| Person | Trust | Trustee | Shares |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dageville | Selene GRAT No. 1 (13 Mar 2025) | Himself | 358,087 |
| Dageville | Thira GRAT No. 1 (13 Mar 2025) | Spouse | 358,087 |
| Dageville | Selene GRAT No. 2 (13 Mar 2025) | Himself | 391,913 |
| Dageville | Thira GRAT No. 2 (13 Mar 2025) | Spouse | 391,913 |
| Dageville | Total across four GRATs | — | 1,500,000 |
| Duda | Kenneth Duda Annuity Trusts | Himself | 690,621 |
| Duda | Jennifer Duda Annuity Trusts | Spouse | 692,104 |
The shape is the point. Dageville’s four trusts hold exactly 1,500,000 shares, split exactly in half between his side and his spouse’s, and split again into two numbered vintages per side. Duda’s two sides are 690,621 and 692,104 — 0.21% apart.
Why it is built this way is inference, not disclosure: mirroring doubles the number of independent bets that the asset beats the hurdle rate, and laddering into separate vintages means one bad funding date does not take down the whole transfer. Neither filing explains itself, and I am reading structure, not stated intent.
