Context
Gifts to charity are non‑market signals and are reported separately from sales. Open-market sales by executives are common and do not necessarily reflect future company performance. Retail investors who track insider activity often view purchases as more indicative of confidence than routine sales or charitable donations. If you want the precise per-lot sale prices beyond the weighted averages, the filing notes the issuer can provide that detail.
