Long-Term Incentive Awards | 14. Long-Term Incentive Awards ​ During the three months ended July 29, 2023, the Company granted awards under its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) to key employees (“Fiscal 2024 LTIP”). Awards under the Fiscal 2024 LTIP consist of: (i) time-based restricted stock awards and time-based restricted stock units, which vest in equal tranches in July 2024, July 2025 and July 2026, and (ii) performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”), which vest based on the Company’s achievement of revenue and non-GAAP adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”) targets for the three-year period ending April 30, 2026. At the award date, target achievement levels for each of the financial performance metrics were established for the PRSUs, at which levels the PRSUs would vest at 100% for each such metric. Threshold achievement levels for which the PRSUs would vest at 50% for each such metric and maximum achievement levels for which such awards would vest at 250% for each such metric were also established. The actual payout for the PRSUs at the end of the performance period will be calculated based upon the Company’s achievement of the established revenue and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA targets for the performance period. Settlement of the PRSUs will be made in fully-vested shares of the Company’s common stock.
