H. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLANS

The following is a summary of the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”). All equity awards granted under these long-term incentive plans were issued from the Company’s stockholder-approved 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan. See Note I, “Stock Compensation Plans.”

At January 29, 2022, the Company has three active LTIPs: 2019-2021 LTIP, 2020-2022 LTIP and 2021-2023 LTIP. Each participant in the plan participates based on that participant’s “Target Cash Value” which is defined as the participant’s annual base salary (on the participant’s effective date) multiplied by his or her LTIP percentage. Under each LTIP, 50% of each participant’s Target Cash Value is subject to time-based vesting and 50% is subject to performance-based vesting. The time-based awards under the 2019-2021 LTIP were granted in a combination of 50% RSUs and 50% cash. For the 2020-2022 LTIP, the time-based awards were granted in a combination of 50% stock options and 50% cash, and for the 2021-2023 LTIP, the time-based awards were granted in a combination of 25% stock options and 75% cash.

Performance targets for the 2019-2021 LTIP, 2020-2022 LTIP and 2021-2023 LTIP were established and approved by the Compensation Committee on August 7, 2019, June 11, 2020, and March 8, 2021, respectively. The performance period for each LTIP is three years. Awards for any achievement of performance targets will not be granted until the performance targets are achieved and then will be subject to additional vesting through August 31, 2022, August 31, 2023 and August, 31, 2024, respectively. The time-based awards under the 2019-2021 LTIP, 2020-2022 LTIP and 2021-2023 LTIP vest in four equal installments through April 1, 2023, April 1, 2024 and April 1, 2025, respectively.

Assuming that the Company achieves the performance targets at target levels and all time-based awards vest, the compensation expense associated with the 2019-2021 LTIP, 2020-2022 LTIP and 2021-2023 LTIP is estimated to be approximately $3.8 million, $3.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively. Approximately half of the compensation expense for each LTIP relates to the time-based awards, which are being expensed straight-line over 44 months, 46 months and 49 months, respectively.

The performance targets under the 2019-2021 LTIP were achieved at the end of fiscal 2021. Based on that achievement, subsequent to the end of fiscal 2021, on March 15, 2022, the Compensation Committee approved a total performance award of $2.6 million, to be awarded in a combination of 50% cash and 50% RSUs. All awards are subject to further vesting through August 31, 2022. Accordingly, at January 29, 2022, the Company has accrued $2.3 million of the $2.6 million award.

At January 29, 2022, the Company has accrued $1.5 million and $0.8 million for the performance awards under the 2020-2022 LTIP and 2021-2023 LTIP, respectively.
