In each case, the retainers are paid quarterly in arrears;

an additional annual cash retainer for the Company’s Non-Executive Chairman of the Board as described below under the caption for “Non-Executive Chairman of the Board Compensation”;

an annual grant of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), to be granted on the date of the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (if the non associate directors continue to serve after the annual meeting of stockholders) pursuant to the Abercrombie & Fitch Co. 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan for Directors (or any successor plan approved by the Company’s stockholders), and which will vest on the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the grant date or (ii) the date of the next regularly scheduled annual meeting of stockholders of the Company after the grant date; in each case, subject to earlier vesting in the event of a non-associate director’s death or total disability or upon termination of service in connection with a change of control of the Company; and

an additional grant of RSUs for the Company’s Non-Executive Chairman of the Board as described below under the caption for “Non-Executive Chairman of the Board Compensation.”

For the fiscal year ending January 29, 2022 (“Fiscal 2021”), non-associate directors are eligible to receive an annual grant of RSUs on the date of the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company held on June 9, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Meeting”) if they continue to serve after the 2021 Annual Meeting, with the market value of the underlying shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value (the “Common Stock”), on the grant date to be $150,000.




All non-associate directors are reimbursed for their expenses for attending meetings of the Board and Board committees and receive the discount on purchases of the Company’s merchandise extended to all Company associates.
