• Transaction type/code: Gift (G) — disposition with no cash proceeds.
• Shares transferred: 160 shares of Class A common stock; reported value $0.
• Holdings after transaction: The filing indicates Mr. Buffett’s Class A holdings are reported in Table II of the Form 4 (see footnote F2); the filing itself should be consulted for the exact post-transaction balance.
• Notable footnotes: F1 — transfer was a gift to a charitable organization; F2 — each Class A share converts into 1,500 Class B shares (reported per Form 4 instructions); F3 — not applicable.

Context

• Gifts are disposals for reporting purposes but do not necessarily reflect trading sentiment or a cash-sale decision; charitable transfers are common for high-net-worth individuals. As a 10% owner, Buffett’s Class A holdings are reported with conversion information (1 A = 1,500 B) per the filing footnote.
