The 2017 Plan
During the three-month period ended June 28, 2024, the Company granted approximately 3.9 million restricted share unit ("RSU") awards. Of this amount, approximately 2.6 million are plain-vanilla unvested RSU awards that vest over a period of three years, with no performance or market conditions, and with an average grant date price of $31.93 per award. In addition, approximately 0.3 million unvested shares represent the target amount of grants made to certain key employees whereby vesting is contingent on certain performance conditions, and with an average grant date price of $31.97 per award. The number of shares contingent on performance conditions that ultimately will vest will range from zero up to a maximum of approximately 0.6 million based on a measurement of the Company's adjusted earnings per share growth over certain specified periods, and will cliff vest after a period of three years, to the extent such performance conditions have been met. Further, approximately 0.3 million unvested shares represent the target amount of grants made to certain key employees whereby vesting is contingent on certain market conditions. The average grant date fair value of these awards contingent on certain market conditions was estimated to be $42.36 per award and was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. The number of shares contingent on market conditions that ultimately will vest will range from zero up to a maximum of approximately 0.6 million based on a measurement of the percentile rank of the Company’s total shareholder return over certain specified periods against the Company's peer companies, and will cliff vest after a period of three years, to the extent such market conditions have been met. Finally, the remaining balance of approximately 0.7 million represents the number of shares issued upon the vesting of RSU awards above target levels based on the achievement of certain market and performance conditions for awards granted in fiscal year 2022. These awards were issued and immediately vested in accordance with the terms and conditions of the underlying awards.
As of June 28, 2024, approximately 12.5 million unvested RSU awards under the 2017 Plan were outstanding, of which vesting for a targeted amount of approximately 1.4 million shares is contingent on meeting certain market conditions, and vesting for a targeted amount of approximately 1.4 million shares is contingent on meeting certain performance conditions. The number of shares tied to market conditions that will ultimately be issued can range from zero to approximately 2.8 million based on the achievement levels. The number of shares tied to performance conditions that will ultimately be issued can range from zero to approximately 2.8 million based on the achievement levels. During the three-month period ended June 28, 2024, approximately 1.6 million shares vested in connection with the awards with market and performance conditions granted in fiscal year 2022.
As of June 28, 2024, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSU awards under the 2017 Plan, was approximately $250 million, and will be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 2.3 years.
