SYMBOL LOOKUP

In a Form 4 filed Friday with the SEC, Martine Rothblatt reported she exercised the options Wednesday and Thursday for $27.50 and $43.60 apiece and then sold all 12,200 shares on the same days for $89.19 to $90 apiece.

The stock sale was conducted under a prearranged 10b5-1 trading plan which allows company insiders to set up a program in advance for such transactions and proceed even if they come into possession of material nonpublic information.

Insiders file Form 4s with the SEC to report transactions in their companies' shares. Open market purchases and sales must be reported within two business days of the transaction.

United Therapeutics, which is a biotechnology company, is based in Silver Spring, Md.
