Market-Based and Performance-Based Stock Compensation In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we granted awards of RSUs with a market condition to certain executives. Under the terms of these grants, the RSUs with a market condition vest over a three-year period based on the Company’s total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to the Russell 3000 index, which condition is measured for the grants on either the third anniversary of the grant date, or equally on the first, second, and third anniversary of the grant date for certain recently hired executives. The awards may vest at 200% if the 75th percentile of the market condition is achieved, with 100% of the units vesting at the 55th percentile, zero vesting if relative TSR is below the 25th percentile, and vesting scaling for achievement between the 25th and 75th percentile. In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we also granted awards of RSUs with a performance condition to certain executives. Under the terms of these grants, the RSUs with a performance condition will vest if the Company achieves year-over-year revenue growth in excess of the Gartner Non-Memory Semiconductor Revenue Growth benchmark, and the number of shares that vest will scale based on achievement of year-over-year revenue growth compared to certain targets, with maximum vesting up to 250%. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved a modification to the performance condition periods and vesting criteria associated with these revenue growth performance awards and similar awards that were granted to certain executives in fiscal 2024 to align the awards with the Company's growth strategy. The modification extended the beginning and end dates of each measurement period by one year, such that the performance condition will be measured annually after each fiscal year-end for one-fourth of the grants with the first measurement period beginning in fiscal 2026 and the last measurement period ending at the end of fiscal 2029. Additionally, the awards were modified such that the measurement and vesting for each tranche will occur on the later of the filing date of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the applicable measurement period, or the date the Gartner Non-Memory Semiconductor Revenue Growth benchmark is published. Vesting of these awards occurs approximately 4 months after the end of each measurement period. All other terms of the modified awards including the size of the awards and performance criteria remain the same. Also during the first nine months of fiscal 2025, we granted additional awards of RSUs with a performance condition to the majority of our employee population. Under the terms of these grants, the RSUs with a performance condition will vest if the Company achieves year-over-year revenue growth targets, and the number of shares vested will scale for achievement of year-over-year revenue growth compared to certain targets, with maximum vesting up to 200% depending on the employee's level. The performance condition will be measured annually after each fiscal year-end for one-half of the grants with the first measurement period beginning in fiscal 2026 and the last measurement period ending at the end of fiscal 2027. Vesting of these awards occurs approximately 4 months after the end of each measurement period. In the first nine months of fiscal 2025, certain awards with a market condition granted in prior fiscal years vested. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the market condition for awards granted to certain executives in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 exceeded the 55th percentile of their TSR condition, and these awards vested at 134%. Also during the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the third tranche of awards granted in fiscal 2021 and 2022 with a performance condition vested. Under the terms of these grants, the RSUs with a performance condition will vest based on the Company generating specified levels of year-over-year revenue growth, which are measured annually for one-fourth of the grants after each fiscal year-end through the end of fiscal 2024, with vesting of each tranche occurring 13 months after the performance condition is met. Vesting of these awards scales for achievement of year-over-year revenue growth compared to certain targets, with maximum vesting up to 200%. The third tranche of these awards vested at the 116.3% level of achievement, based on the Company's year-over-year revenue growth performance as of December 30, 2023. For the fourth tranche of these awards, the Company did not meet the year-over-year revenue growth performance criteria as of December 28, 2024. For our awards with a market condition or performance condition, we incurred stock compensation expense of approximately $17.9 million and $27.7 million, respectively, in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2025. In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, we incurred stock compensation expense of approximately $4.5 million, partially offset by benefits from forfeitures of approximately $2.9 million due to executive departures. In the first nine months of fiscal 2024, we recorded benefits from forfeitures of approximately $18.0 million due to executive departures, which was partially offset by stock compensation expense of approximately $16.5 million. These amounts are recorded as components of total stock-based compensation. The following table summarizes the activity for our awards with a market condition or performance condition:
