Murphy Brian Daniel 4

What Happened

• Brian Daniel Murphy, President & CEO and a Director of American Outdoor Brands (AOUT), was granted equity awards on May 27, 2026. The filing shows 58,698 restricted stock units (RSUs) acquired at $0.00 and 117,394 performance rights (derivative award) listed as N/A for price/value.

Context

• These awards are compensation grants (not open‑market purchases or sales). RSUs vest over time and performance rights are contingent on future company performance, so they do not immediately increase tradable shares.
• Such grants are common for executives and reflect pay arrangements rather than direct buying/selling of stock.
