Buckle US1184401065

Shares of The Buckle, Inc. demonstrated notable resilience at the start of the trading week, posting gains amidst broader market volatility. This positive price action coincided with regulatory filings revealing new equity grants to members of the company's board of directors.

Recent submissions to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) disclosed that three directors were awarded company stock. The equity grants, effective February 1, were recorded at a price of $0.00, reflecting a standard form of executive compensation through equity instruments at U.S.-listed firms.

The filings indicate that directors Shruti S. Joshi, Angie J. Klein, and Hank M. Bounds each received an allocation of 3,000 shares of common stock. Following these transactions, the directors' reported holdings increased significantly. Joshi's direct holdings now total 11,250 shares, Klein's amount to over 18,000 shares, and Bounds holds more than 20,250 shares.
