Jain has a charity and he has done this before as I recall?

That is correct but these sold shares are not foundation shares - these are his directly owned personal shares. Ajit is a decisive capital allocator! I'm sure he had his reasons.

I wonder why he didn't convert the 200 A shares to B shares before selling. I don't think these went to the company and I know Warren would prefer A-to-B conversions before sending them into the wild.
