How do Samir Desai’s ANF restricted stock units vest over time?

The footnotes state that restricted stock units vest one-third per year beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. As they vest, each unit converts into one share of Abercrombie & Fitch common stock, subject to applicable tax withholding obligations.

What is the significance of the F-coded tax-withholding transaction in ANF’s Form 4?

The F code indicates shares were used to pay tax liabilities related to the RSU vesting. For Samir Desai, 1,936 Class A shares at $87.28 per share were delivered for this purpose, a mechanistic tax event rather than a discretionary stock sale.
