Treasury shares

On February 12, 2019, we announced that our Board authorized the repurchase of up to 5,500,000 of our ordinary shares, on the open market (including block trades), through privately negotiated transactions, or in one or more self-tender offers. During the year ended June 30, 2020, we purchased 4,119,965 shares under this authorization for a cost of $521,168. The February Repurchase Program terminated on November 25, 2019 when we announced the new November Repurchase Program described immediately below.

On November 25, 2019, we announced that our Board had approved a new share repurchase program that replaced the February Repurchase Program described immediately above. Under this new program, we may repurchase up to 5,500,000 of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares on the open market (including block trades), through privately negotiated transactions, or in one or more self-tender offers. This repurchase program expires on May 22, 2021, and we may suspend or discontinue our share repurchases at any time. During the year ended June 30, 2020, we purchased 882,053 shares under this share repurchase program for a cost of $105,888.

On November 5, 2019, we repurchased 750,000 of our outstanding ordinary shares, par value €0.01 per share, from two private investment partnerships affiliated with Prescott General Partners LLC ("PGP") at a price of $135.00 per share, representing a discount of $1.05 to the closing price of our ordinary shares on November 5, 2019 (the "Transaction").

PGP remained our largest shareholder, beneficially owning 3,906,492 of our ordinary shares immediately following the Transaction. In addition, Scott J. Vassalluzzo, a Managing Member of PGP, serves as a member of our Board of Directors. In light of the foregoing, the disinterested members of our Audit Committee reviewed the Transaction under our related person transaction policy and considered, amount other things, Mr. Vassalluzzo's and PGP's interest in the Transaction, the approximated dollar value of the Transaction, that the shares were being repurchased at a discount to the closing price, and the purpose and the potential benefits to Cimpress of entering into the Transaction. Based on these considerations, the disinterested members of the Audit Committee concluded that the Transaction was in our best interest. The Transaction was effected pursuant to the share repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors and announced on February 12, 2019.

On April 28, 2020, we entered into an amendment to our senior secured credit agreement, which suspended our financial maintenance covenants in addition to prohibiting us from repurchasing shares during the suspension period. Refer to Note 10 for additional information.
Warrants
In conjunction with our issuance of the second lien notes, as described in Note 10, we also issued 7-year warrants, to purchase 1,055,377 ordinary shares of Cimpress, representing approximately 3.875% of our outstanding diluted ordinary shares. The warrants are accounted for as equity, as they are redeemable only in our own shares, with an exercise price of $60 per share. The warrants may be exercised by cash payment or through cashless exercise by the surrender of warrant shares having a value equal to the exercise price of the portion of the warrant being exercised.
The carrying value was assigned to detachable warrants based on a relative fair allocation between the second lien notes and the warrants, as described in Note 10. The fair value used for the warrants in this allocation was calculated using the Monte Carlo valuation model. The valuation of the notes and warrants resulted in a carrying value allocated to the warrants of $22,432, which, in addition to be being accounted for as an equity instrument recorded in additional paid in capital, will also be included as a discount to the second lien notes.
Share-based awards

The 2016 Performance Equity Plan (the "2016 Plan") became effective upon shareholder approval on May 27, 2016 and allows us to grant PSUs, entitling the recipient to receive Cimpress ordinary shares based upon continued service to Cimpress and the achievement of objective, predetermined appreciation of Cimpress' three-year moving average share price. We may grant PSUs under the 2016 Plan to our employees, officers, non-employee directors, consultants, and advisors. Subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and other similar events, we may make awards under the 2016 Plan for up to 6,000,000 of our ordinary shares.
The 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) became effective upon shareholder approval on June 30, 2011 and allows us to grant share options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units and other awards based on our ordinary shares to our employees, officers, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors. Among other terms, the 2011 Plan requires that the exercise price of any share option or share appreciation right granted under the 2011 Plan be at least 100% of the fair market value of the ordinary shares on the date of grant; limits the term of any share option or share appreciation right to a maximum period of 10 years; provides that shares underlying outstanding awards under the Amended and Restated 2005 Equity Incentive Plan that are canceled, forfeited, expired or otherwise terminated without having been issued in full will become available for the grant of new awards under the 2011 Plan; and prohibits the repricing of any share options or share appreciation rights without shareholder approval. In addition, the 2011 Plan provides that the number of ordinary shares available for issuance under the plan will be reduced by (i) 1.56 ordinary shares for each share subject to a restricted share or other share-based award with a per share or per unit purchase price lower than 100% of the fair market value of the ordinary shares on the date of grant and (ii) one ordinary share for each share subject to any other award under the 2011 Plan.
Our 2005 Non-Employee Directors’ Share Option Plan allows us to grant share options to our non-employee directors upon initial appointment as a director and annually thereafter in connection with our annual general meeting of shareholders if they are continuing to serve as a director at such time.
An aggregate of 5,815,482 ordinary shares were available for future awards under all of our share-based award plans as of June 30, 2020. For PSUs under our 2016 Plan, we assumed that we would issue ordinary shares
equal to 250% of the outstanding PSUs, which is the maximum potential share issuance. Treasury shares have historically been used in fulfillment of our share-based awards.
Share options
We have previously granted options to purchase ordinary shares at prices that are at least equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date the option is granted and have a contractual term of approximately eight to ten years. Options generally vested over 3 years for non-employee directors and over 4 years for employees.
The fair value of each option award subject only to service period vesting is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Use of a valuation model requires management to make certain assumptions with respect to inputs. The expected volatility assumption is based upon historical volatility of our share price. The expected term assumption is based on the contractual and vesting term of the option and historical experience. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve with a maturity equal to the expected life assumed at the grant date. We value share options with a market condition using a lattice model with compensation expense recorded on an accelerated basis over the requisite service period.
We did not grant any share options in fiscal 2020. A summary of our share option activity and related information for the year ended June 30, 2020 is as follows:

The intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax amount, net of exercise price, which would have been received if all option holders exercised in-the-money options on June 30, 2020. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $92,582, $12,498 and $46,853, respectively.
Performance share units - 2016 Performance Equity Plan
The PSU awards entitle the recipient to receive Cimpress ordinary shares between 0% and 250% of the number of units, based upon continued service to Cimpress and the achievement of a compounded annual growth rate target based on Cimpress' three-year moving average share price. Awards with a grant date prior to fiscal 2020 will be assessed annually in years 6 - 10 following the grant date and awards with a grant date in fiscal 2020 will be assessed annually in years 4 - 8 following the grant date. The fair value of the PSUs is based on a Monte Carlo simulation, and the resulting expense is recognized on an accelerated basis over the requisite service period.

During fiscal 2018, we issued supplemental performance share units ("supplemental PSUs") to certain members of management (excluding Robert Keane, our Chairman and CEO) that were incremental to our typical long-term incentive awards. The supplemental PSUs were subject to a three-year cumulative financial performance condition and as of June 30, 2020 the performance condition was not achieved. In fiscal 2018 we concluded that the achievement of the three-year cumulative performance condition was probable and recognized expense of $15,397, which we subsequently reversed in fiscal 2019 when we concluded that the achievement was no longer probable.

The weighted average fair value of PSUs granted during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $142.90, $176.16, and $115.02, respectively. The total intrinsic value of PSUs outstanding at the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $78,951, $74,688 and $98,683, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, the number of shares subject to PSUs included in the table above assumes the issuance of one share for each PSU, but based on actual performance that amount delivered can range from zero shares to a maximum of 2,585,493 shares.
Restricted share units

The fair value of an RSU award is equal to the fair market value of our ordinary shares on the date of grant and the expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. RSUs generally vest over 4 years, however, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, we replaced a portion of some employees' salaries with RSU awards that generally vest after 4.5 months. We granted 193,365 RSUs during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. This program was put in place, as one of several measures taken to improve liquidity during the pandemic. As of July 1, 2020, we suspended the program but will consider providing future grants in lieu of cash compensation if necessary.

We did not grant any RSUs during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The total intrinsic value of RSUs vested during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $1,905, $6,749 and $11,581, respectively.
Restricted share awards
As part of our acquisition of Tradeprint during the first quarter of fiscal 2016, we issued 65,050 restricted ordinary shares. The fair value of the RSAs was determined based on our share price on the date of grant and was recognized as share-based compensation expense over the applicable service period. These awards vested over a 2 to 4 year period. The remaining 4,145 unvested shares vested during the year ended June 30, 2020, with a weighted average grant date value of $64.53.
Share-based compensation
Total share-based compensation costs were $34,874, $21,716 and $50,466 for the years ended June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and we elected to recognize the impact of forfeitures as they occur.
From time to time we issue awards that are considered liability-based awards as they are settleable in cash. We previously had a liability-based award associated with our Printi LLC investment and we had fully reserved for the loan receivable in fiscal 2019 and throughout fiscal 2020 since the collateral value of the related liability was estimated to have no value. This agreement was settled in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, refer to Note 15 for additional details.

Share-based compensation costs capitalized as part of software and website development costs were $1,157, $1,141 and $1,607 for the years ended June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
As of June 30, 2020, there was $29,165 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested, share-based compensation arrangements. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years.
