Inc. exercised options for 20,000 shares of common stock, according to a
Securities and Exchange Commission filing Thursday.
In a Form 4 filed with the SEC, C. Donald Whitmire Jr. reported he exercised
options for the shares Monday for $56.50 to $67.36 apiece and then sold the same
number of them the same day for $115 apiece.
Insiders file Form 4s with the SEC to report transactions in their
companies' shares. Open market purchases and sales must be reported within two
