What Happened
- William Sydney Fisher (reported as a 10% owner) had stock units and dividend-equivalent rights settle on June 30, 2026, resulting in the acquisition of 20,779 shares of Gap Inc. common stock (19,036 + 1,743).

Context
- Code M indicates conversion/settlement of derivative awards (stock units/dividend equivalents) rather than a cash buy; code G indicates a gift (a transfer that is not an open‑market sale and does not necessarily reflect trading sentiment).
- As a 10% owner, Fisher is a substantial shareholder; these actions reflect award settlements and an internal transfer (gift), not a typical open-market buy or sell. The filing references a 10b5-1 plan, which is a prearranged trading plan commonly used to provide an affirmative defense under Rule 10b5-1.
