Warrant. On October 5, 2016, the Company issued a warrant (the "Warrant") to Comcast Cable Communications Management LLC ("Comcast") to purchase up to 1,086,957 shares (the "Warrant Shares") of the common stock of Semtech Corporation. The Warrant was issued by the Company to Comcast in connection with an agreement between the parties regarding the intended trial deployment by Comcast of a low-power wide-area network ("LPWAN") in the United States, based on the Company’s LoRa® devices and wireless radio frequency technology. The Warrant was accounted for as equity and the cost was recognized as an offset to net sales over the respective performance period. The Warrant consisted of five performance tranches. The cost associated with each tranche had been recognized based on the fair value at each reporting date until vesting which was the measurement date. On April 27, 2018, the Company accelerated the vesting of the remaining 586,956 unvested shares from the Warrant, resulting in the full recognition of the remaining costs to be recognized for the Warrant. For the six month period ended July 29, 2018, the revenue offset reflects the cost associated with the Warrant of $21.5 million, including $15.9 million, related to the acceleration. The Warrant is now fully-vested and exercisable for a total of 869,565 shares, with no additional costs to be recognized in future periods. Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units. The Company grants performance-based restricted stock units to select employees. The performance-based restricted stock units are valued as of the measurement date and expense is recognized on a straight line basis for the awards expected to vest based on the probability of attainment of the performance condition for each separately vesting portion of the award. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company granted 200,442 performance-based restricted stock units that have a pre-defined market condition and a service condition that are accounted for as equity awards. The market condition is determined based upon the Company’s total stockholder return ("TSR") benchmarked against the TSR of the S&P SPDR Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:XSD) over a one, two and three year period (one-third of the awards vesting each performance period). The fiscal year 2019 award recipients must be employed for the entire performance period and be an active employee at the time of vesting of the awards. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the grant-date fair value for these awards, which takes into consideration the possible outcomes pertaining to the TSR market condition. The grant-date fair value per unit of the awards granted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 for each one, two and three year performance period is $33.02, $34.85 and $36.52, respectively. Award Modifications. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company modified the terms of 159,000 fully vested shares held by 8 employees. As a result of the modification, additional compensation cost of $2.8 million was recognized during the first quarter of fiscal year 2019.
