April 30, 2024 · Form 4 insider transaction
KELLY GARY C sold 120,133 shares of Southwest Airlines Co. at $0.00 per share, a transaction worth N/A. The trade was recorded as gift and disclosed on an SEC Form 4, filed 2 days after the transaction.
On April 30, 2024, as part of his estate planning, the reporting person and his spouse contributed a total of 120,133 direct holding shares (the "Capital Contribution") to a family limited partnership (the "Family Limited Partnership"), the sole general partner of which is a limited liability company that is wholly owned by the reporting person and his spouse (the "Family Limited Liability Company").; Prior to the transfer, the sole limited partners of the Family Limited Partnership were (a) a trust for the reporting person and his descendants, for which the reporting person is trustee (the "Reporting Person Trust"), (b) a trust for the reporting person's spouse and her descendants, for which the reporting person's spouse is trustee (the "Spousal Trust"), (c) the reporting person through a separate limited partnership interest in the Family Limited Partnership (the "Reporting Person LP Interest"), and (d) the reporting person's spouse through a separate limited partnership interest in the Family Limited Partnership (the "Spousal LP Interest").; As a result of this transaction, the reporting person and his spouse each received an additional separate limited partnership interest in the Family Limited Partnership, which resulted in (a) a decrease in the number of shares directly owned by the reporting person, (b) an increase in the number of shares indirectly owned by the reporting person through the Family Limited Partnership, and (c) net increases in the number of shares indirectly owned by the reporting person through the Reporting Person Trust, the Spousal Trust, and the Family Limited Liability Company as a result of the overall increase in the Family Limited Partnership's holdings due to the Capital Contribution.; Because the reporting person's aggregate beneficial holdings remained the same prior to and after this transaction, the reporting person believes the contributions to the Family Limited Partnership constitute a change in form of beneficial ownership exempted by Rule 16a-13 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
