Each Class A share is convertible into 1,500 Class B shares (footnote F2), so those 105 Class A shares represent an equivalent of 157,500 Class B shares.

Context

• Gifts are commonly used for charitable or estate-planning purposes and do not necessarily reflect the insider’s investment view. Because this was a small charitable gift (3 Class B shares) and no sale or purchase of economic exposure occurred, it’s unlikely to materially affect investor views of insider conviction.
