that's the news that founder nick woodman is itself going 5.8 million shares to create a new charitablendation. and by doing so, has avoided certain ipo lockup rules. now, i spoke to someone familiar with this process, and i was told that the shares have simply been moved between one of woodman's personal accounts and a new foundation account and that none have been sold. nor is there at this time a schedule in place for the foundation to begin selling those shares, and that's not expected to happen for some time. now, i was told the timing of doing this was actually for tax reasons. woodman's existing lockup would have ended in late december. so we wouldn't have been able to affect the shift technically until the 2015 calendar year. woodman, i'm told, has signed on to that buffett/gates blej to give away half his wealth and wanted to get the process started sooner. my source tells me that the deal that was done in the last day was done for administrative purposes and not because, brian and mandy, those shares will be sold in the market in the near term. they are still in an account. th
