(1)Amounts are derived primarily from liability classified awards. (2)Includes equity classified awards of $1 million for fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, respectively. Vesting requirements for awards are generally at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee thereof. Time-based vesting awards for employees typically vest in three or four equal installments. The Board of Directors has adopted a policy in connection with the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan that sets forth grant, vesting and settlement dates for equity awards, a one-year vesting period for awards issued to non-employee directors, and a three-year equal installment vesting period for designated employee restricted stock awards. Performance awards have a three-year cliff vest, subject to achievement of the performance objective. As of July 29, 2023, there was $45 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding share-based compensation arrangements (including restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units). This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years. Restricted Stock Awards The fair value of restricted stock units and performance share units are determined based on the number of units granted and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock as of the grant date. The following summary presents information regarding restricted stock units, Supervalu Replacement Awards and performance share units:
