Gap, Inc
A clothing retailer that runs four brands — Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta — spanning family basics, premium workwear, and women's activewear. It began in 1969 when Donald and Doris Fisher, frustrated they couldn't find well-fitting Levi's jeans, opened their first San Francisco store, which also sold vinyl records. The name came from the "generation gap" of the 1960s.
This Statement is filed on behalf of the Reporting Person to update the beneficial ownership information from that reported in the Schedule 13D. The changes in beneficial ownership are the result of the implementation of an estate plan due to Doris F. Fisher's death. The Reporting Person reviews their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis and may, at any time, consistent with the obligations of the Reporting Person under the federal securities laws, determine to increase or decrease their respective ownership of shares of the Issuer's Common Stock through purchases or sales of such Common Stock of the Issuer in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or by gift or other transfers as circumstances dictate. From time to time, the Reporting Person has transferred shares to various entities controlled by him, disposed of certain shares to third parties by gift and sold shares of Issuer Common Stock in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions, and the Reporting Person may do so in the future. The review of his investment in the Issuer by the Reporting Person will depend on various factors, including the Issuer's business prospects, other developments concerning the Issuer, alternative investment opportunities, general economic conditions, money and stock market conditions, and any other facts and circumstances which may become known to the Reporting Person regarding his investment in the Issuer. At the time of filing this Statement, the Reporting Person has no plans to sell or to purchase additional shares of Common Stock of the Issuer in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions but may engage in such transactions in the future. At the time of the filing of this Statement, except as disclosed herein, the Reporting Person has no present plans or proposals in his capacity as a stockholder which relate to or would result in (i) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer, (ii) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (iv) any change in the Board of Directors or management of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (v) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, (vi) any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure; (vii) changes in the Issuer's charter or bylaws or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person, (viii) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or cease to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (ix) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act or (x) any action similar to any of those described above. However, because the Reporting Person is a member of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, he may, from time to time, be involved in discussions which relate to one or more of the matters described in this Item 4. The Reporting Person disclaims any obligation to report on any plans or proposals with respect to the matters described in this Item 4 that develop or occur as a result of his role as a director of the Issuer and participation in decisions regarding the Issuer's actions.
