Foyle Jennifer M. 4

What Happened

• Jennifer M. Foyle, Global Brand President — Aerie, received two equity awards on March 25, 2026 totaling 302,921 restricted stock units (63,559 RSUs and 239,362 RSUs). The awards are reported at an acquisition price of $0.00 (stock-based awards/derivatives), not open-market purchases or sales.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-03-25; Form filed: 2026-03-27 (filed within the standard two-business-day window).
• Reported amounts: 63,559 RSUs and 239,362 RSUs; total 302,921 RSUs; reported acquisition price $0.00.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the Form 4 filing.
• Footnotes in the filing:
  • F1: Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of AEO common stock upon settlement.
  • F2: The RSUs vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date.
  • F3 appears in the filing describing a 1/3-per-year option vesting schedule but no option exercise/option grant is reported in these transactions.
• Transaction type: Award/grant (derivative), not a purchase or sale—so this is compensation-related, not an immediate bullish cash investment signal.

Context

• RSUs are contingent awards that convert into shares only as they vest; this award increases potential future share issuance and aligns executive compensation with long-term performance.
• Because these are grants reported at $0.00 and vest over three years, they reflect compensation structure rather than an immediate change in market exposure from a buy or sell.
