Context
Gifts are estate‑planning moves and do not represent an open‑market sale or purchase; they typically do not indicate a change in an insider’s market view. Because part of the transfer was to a trust for which Pichai is sole trustee/annuitant, those shares remain within a vehicle tied to him, while the spouse’s trust shares are disclaimed by him except for any indirect pecuniary interest.
