Rust Jay 4

What Happened
Jay Rust, EVP Human Resources of Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (ANF), was granted 5,352 restricted stock units (RSUs) on March 17, 2026. The Form 4 reports the acquisition as a derivative award at $0.00 per share (recorded value $0) — these RSUs represent a contingent right to receive one share of common stock for each unit when vested. This is a compensation grant (award), not a market purchase or sale.

Context
RSU grants are a standard form of executive compensation and do not immediately increase outstanding common shares until the units vest and are settled. Because this was an award rather than an open‑market purchase or sale, it mainly reflects company compensation practices rather than an immediate insider buy/sell signal.
