Share Based Compensation

9 Months Ended

Dec. 29, 2019

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units. Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a performance-based equity compensation arrangement for our executive officers during the first quarters of each of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019. These performance-based arrangements provide for the grant of performance-based restricted stock units that represent a possible future issuance of restricted shares of our common stock based on a pre-tax income target for the applicable fiscal year. The actual number of restricted shares to be issued to each executive officer is determined when our final financial information becomes available after the applicable fiscal year and will be between zero shares and 69,632 shares in the aggregate for fiscal 2020. The restricted shares issued, if any, will fully vest approximately two years after the last day of the fiscal year on which the performance is based. We are recording the compensation expense for the outstanding performance share units and the converted restricted stock over the life of the awards.

The following table represents the restricted stock activity for the nine months ended December 29, 2019:


	Shares	Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested at beginning of period	32,883	$	43.66
Granted	69,252	34.49
Vested	(27,620)	46.01

Unvested at end of period	74,515	$	34.27

We recorded compensation expense related to performance share units and restricted stock of $0.5 million and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended December 29, 2019, respectively. We recorded compensation expense related to performance share units and restricted stock of $0.4 million and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended December 30, 2018, respectively. Substantially all of the compensation expense was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Restricted Stock Awards. As part of their retainers, each director who is not an executive officer receives an annual grant of restricted stock for their service on our Board. The restricted stock awards are expensed over the requisite vesting period, which is one year from the date of issuance, based on the market value on the date of grant. As of December 29, 2019, there were 8,008 shares of restricted stock with a grant date fair value of $43.67 outstanding under this program. Compensation expense for both the three months ended December 29, 2019 and December 30, 2018 related to restricted stock awards to the Board was $0.1 million. Compensation expense for both the nine months ended December 29, 2019 and December 30, 2018 related to restricted stock awards to the Board was $0.2 million.
