Context

• Gifts of shares are charitable or personal transactions and generally do not reflect an insider's trading view of the company’s prospects. No cash proceeds or market sale occurred. The filing’s footnotes show significant related-party holdings in Class A stock via trusts and a foundation; because one Class A = 1,500 Class B, those A-share holdings translate to a large number of Class B-equivalent shares, but the Form 4 does not list Ajit Jain’s total Class B holdings after this gift.
