(1) Transactions being reported under transaction code G were transfers from a trust to another 501(c)(3) irrevocable trust. These transactions are exempt under Section 16(b) and are not reportable until a Form 5 is filed at the end of the year, however the reporting person has elected to report them on this Form 4. The net effect of these transfers did not result in a change in beneficial ownership.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.

Potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB number.
