Context

• Gifts (code G) are transfers of shares without a cash price and generally do not signal an insider’s buy/sell sentiment about the company’s stock. Such transfers are often for personal, family or estate-planning reasons. This report appears to be a routine Form 4 disclosure of a non-market transfer and was filed on time.
