Equity Incentive Plans

On October 19, 2014, the Company approved the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, which was amended as of August 24, 2016 (as amended, the “2014 Plan”). The 2014 Plan authorizes the Company to issue awards to employees, consultants and directors for up to a total of 3,600,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. All awards granted by the Company under the 2014 Plan were nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units or performance share units. Options granted under the 2014 Plan have a life of eight to ten years and vest over service periods of four or five years or in connection with certain events as defined by the 2014 Plan and as determined by the Compensation Committee of our board of directors. Restricted stock awards granted under the 2014 Plan vested over one or four years, as determined by the Compensation Committee of our board of directors. Restricted stock units granted under the 2014 Plan vest over service periods of one, four or five years, as determined by the Compensation Committee of our board of directors. Performance share units are subject to the vesting criteria discussed further below.

On August 26, 2020, the Company approved the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). Following the approval of the 2020 Plan, no further grants have been made under the 2014 Plan. The 2020 Plan authorizes the Company to issue awards to employees and directors for up to a total of 2,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of March 30, 2024, all awards granted by the Company under the 2020 Plan to date have been market-based stock options, restricted stock units or performance share units. Market-based stock options granted under the 2020 Plan are subject to the vesting criteria discussed further below. Restricted stock units vest over service periods of one, three or four years, as determined by the Compensation Committee of our board of directors. Performance share units granted under the 2020 Plan are subject to the vesting criteria discussed further below.

Stock Options

During fiscal 2024, the Company did not grant options to purchase shares.

During fiscal 2023, the Company granted its Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") an option to purchase 86,189 shares of common stock under the 2020 Plan. This option contains both service and market vesting conditions. Vesting of this option is contingent upon the market price of the Company's common stock achieving three stated price targets for 30 consecutive trading days through the third anniversary of the date of grant. If the first market price target is met, 33% of the option granted will cliff vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant, with an additional 33% of the option vesting on the third anniversary of the date of grant if the second market price target is met, and the last 34% of the option vesting on the third anniversary of the date of grant if the final market price target is met. The total grant date fair value of this option was $4.0 million, with a grant date fair value of $46.41 per share. The Company is recognizing the expense relating to this stock option on a straight-line basis over the three-year service period. The exercise price of this award is $86.96 per share. The fair value of the option was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The following significant assumptions were used as of May 12, 2022, the date of grant:

(1)The Company has limited historical information regarding the expected option term. Accordingly, the Company determined the expected life of the options using the simplified method.
(2)Stock volatility for each grant is measured using the weighted average of historical daily price changes of the Company’s stock over the most recent period equal to the expected option term of the Company’s awards.
(3)The risk-free interest rate is determined using the rate on treasury securities with the same term.

During fiscal 2023, the Company did not grant any other options to purchase shares.

During fiscal 2022, the Company did not grant options to purchase shares.

Intrinsic value for stock options is defined as the difference between the market price of the Company’s common stock on the last business day of the fiscal year and the weighted average exercise price of in-the-money stock options outstanding at the end of each fiscal period.

Restricted Stock Units

During fiscal 2024, the Company granted 132,713 restricted stock units to various directors and employees under the 2020 Plan. The shares granted to employees vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the grant date, provided that the respective award recipient continues to be employed by the Company through each of those dates (subject to certain exceptions). The shares granted to the Company’s directors vest on the first day following the first anniversary of the date of grant. The grant date fair value of these awards for fiscal 2024 totaled $8.6 million. The Company is recognizing the expense relating to these awards on a straight-line basis over the service period of each award (subject to certain exceptions), commencing on the date of grant.

During fiscal 2023, the Company granted 94,262 restricted stock units to various directors and employees under the 2020 Plan. The shares granted to employees vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the grant date, provided that the respective award recipient continues to be employed by the Company through each of those dates (subject to certain exceptions). The shares granted to the Company’s directors vest on the first day following the first anniversary of the date of grant. The grant date fair value of these awards for fiscal 2023 totaled $8.2 million. The Company is recognizing the expense relating to these awards on a straight-line basis over the service period of each award (subject to certain exceptions), commencing on the date of grant.

During fiscal 2022, the Company granted 65,662 restricted stock units to various directors and employees under the 2014 Plan. The shares granted to employees vest in four equal annual installments beginning on the grant date, provided that the respective award recipient continues to be employed by the Company through each of those dates (subject to certain exceptions). The shares granted to the Company’s directors vest on the first day following the first anniversary of the date of grant. The grant date fair value of these awards for fiscal 2022 totaled $5.2 million. The Company is recognizing the expense relating to these awards on a straight-line basis over the service period of each award (subject to certain exceptions), commencing on the date of grant.

Performance Share Units

During fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company granted 112,740, 57,843 and 33,571 performance share units, respectively, to various employees under the 2020 Plan with grant date fair values of $7.3 million, $5.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively. Performance share units are stock-based awards in which the number of shares ultimately received depends on the Company's performance against its cumulative earnings per share target over a three-year performance period. The performance period for fiscal 2024 awards began April 2, 2023 and ends March 28, 2026, fiscal 2023 awards began March 27, 2022 and ends March 29, 2025, and fiscal 2022 awards began March 28, 2021 and ended March 30, 2024.

The performance metrics for these awards were established by the Company at the beginning of the performance period. At the end of the performance period, the number of performance share units to be issued is fixed based upon the degree of achievement of the performance goals. If the cumulative three-year performance goals are below the threshold level, the number of performance share units to vest will be 0%, if the performance goals are at the threshold level, the number of performance share units to vest will be 50% of the target amounts, if the performance goals are at the target level, the number of performance share units to vest will be 100% of the target amounts, and if the performance goals are at the maximum level, the number of performance share units to vest will be 200% of the target amounts, each subject to continued service by the applicable award recipient through the last day of the performance period (subject to certain exceptions). If performance is between threshold and target goals or between target and maximum goals, the number of performance share units to vest will be determined by linear interpolation. The number of shares ultimately issued can range from 0% to 200% of the participant's target award.

The grant date fair values of the performance share units granted during fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022 were initially measured using the Company's closing stock price on the date of grant with the resulting stock compensation expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the three-year vesting period, subject to certain exceptions. The expense recognized over the vesting period is adjusted up or down on a quarterly basis based on the anticipated performance level during the performance period. If the performance metrics are not probable of achievement during the performance period, any previously recognized stock compensation expense is reversed. The awards are forfeited if the threshold performance goals are not achieved as of the end of the performance period.
