From the bogleheads (emphasis mine):

"... VTI (and most index funds for that matter) are free float adjusted. Meaning space x is selling less than 5% of the company, so it’s treated at the less than 5% of the 1.75 trillion that is reported. It will not make it a top 10 company like it would if the whole company was sold. It will be a more like $50-100 billion company depending on the exact numbers. As they sell more VTI will slowly have more."

Essentially this will have a fairly minor impact on most people's 401ks. If you are very concerned it may be worth checking the funds you're invested in to see if they're free float adjusted or not.
