Vanguard Files Amendment for Heritage Financial, Reports 0% Stake

The Vanguard Group filed Amendment 6 to Schedule 13G/A for Heritage Financial Corp/WA (ticker: HFWA) reporting that it no longer holds any beneficial ownership in the company's common stock. The filing indicates 0 shares owned and 0% ownership percentage, a significant change from the previous reported position of 2,412,325 shares. This change results from an internal realignment at Vanguard on January 12, 2026, where certain subsidiaries and business divisions that previously reported beneficial ownership collectively with The Vanguard Group, Inc. will now report separately on a disaggregated basis. The filing confirms that Vanguard's ownership is now 5% or less of the outstanding shares. The amendment was filed on March 27, 2026, with an event date of March 13, 2026, and represents the sixth amendment to the original Schedule 13G filing.
