Context

• Gifts are treated as dispositions for reporting purposes and do not necessarily reflect the insider’s view of the company’s prospects; they can be for estate planning, charitable donations, or personal reasons.
• As a 10% owner (not an operating executive in this filing), Johnsen’s transactions are reported because of ownership status; these transfers are different from routine executive open-market buys or sales.
