FAQ

What insider transaction did ANF executive Scott D. Lipesky report?

Scott D. Lipesky reported exercising 5,718 restricted stock units into Class A common stock. This Form 4 shows a routine equity compensation event where stock units vested and converted into shares, increasing his direct ownership in Abercrombie & Fitch.

How many Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) shares does Scott Lipesky hold after this Form 4?

After the reported transactions, Scott Lipesky directly owns 150,590 shares of Abercrombie & Fitch Class A common stock. This figure reflects the RSU conversion and the shares withheld to satisfy tax obligations, giving investors a clearer picture of his current equity stake.

Were any ANF shares sold on the open market in Scott Lipesky’s Form 4 filing?

No open-market sale is reported. The 2,476 Class A shares shown with code “F” were withheld to pay taxes related to the vesting, using a price of $87.28 per share, which is a standard, non-discretionary tax-withholding mechanism rather than a market-driven sale.

What does the exercise of 5,718 restricted stock units mean for ANF’s Scott Lipesky?

Exercising 5,718 restricted stock units means those units converted into an equal number of Class A common shares. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share, so vesting and exercise increase his direct share ownership as part of equity compensation.

How do Scott Lipesky’s Abercrombie & Fitch RSUs vest over time?

The restricted stock units vest one-third per year beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. This staggered vesting schedule is designed to retain executives over multiple years by tying a portion of compensation to continued service and company performance.

What are the key transaction codes in Scott Lipesky’s ANF Form 4?

The filing uses code “M” for the exercise or conversion of a derivative security, representing RSUs turning into shares, and code “F” for shares withheld to pay tax liabilities. These codes indicate routine compensation-related events rather than discretionary stock purchases or sales.
