The aggregate intrinsic value will change based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock and the number of in-the-money options.

Liability Classified Awards - Long-Term Incentive Awards The Company has granted cash long-term incentive awards (“LTIP awards”) to certain employees. The 2023 and 2024 LTIP awards vest at the end of the three-year period and are determined using multipliers from 0% to 200% of the target award based on the total stockholder return of Dine Brands Global common stock compared to the total stockholder returns of a peer group of companies. The 2025 LTIP awards vest at the end of the three-year period and are determined using multipliers from 0% to 200% of the target award based on the Company's cumulative adjusted EBITDA, as defined and reflected in the Company’s earnings release and/or financial statements for each of the three years in the performance period, subject to adjustment based on the total stockholder returns of a peer group of companies. As of June 30, 2025, the cumulative performance target of the 2025 LTIP awards is not known; therefore, no compensation expense related to the 2025 LTIP award has been recognized. The LTIP awards are considered stock-based compensation and are classified as liabilities measured at fair value as of the respective period end. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, credits of $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, were included in total stock-based compensation expense related to LTIP awards. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, a credit of $0.2 million and an expense of $0.1 million, respectively, were included in total stock-based compensation expense related to LTIP awards. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, liabilities of $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, related to LTIP awards were included as part of accrued employee compensation and benefits and other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
