Stock-Based Compensation | 13. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Equity Incentive Plan Description On September 16, 2015, our shareholders approved an equity incentive plan titled the Culp, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). The 2015 Plan authorizes the grant of stock options intended to qualify as incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance-based units, and other equity and cash related awards as determined by the Compensation Committee of our board of directors. An aggregate of 1,200,000 shares of common stock were authorized for issuance under the 2015 Plan, with certain sub-limits that would apply with respect to specific types of awards that may be issued as defined in the 2015 Plan. As of April 30, 2023, there were 224,266 shares available for future equity-based grants under the company’s 2015 Plan. Time-Based Restricted Stock Awards The following table summarizes the time-based restricted stock unit activity during fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021:

(1) During fiscal 2023, time-based restricted stock units totaling 32,799 vested at a fair value of $167,000, or $5.10 per share. The following table summarizes information related to our grants of time-based restricted stock unit awards associated with certain senior executives and key members of management during fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021:
|  |  |  |  | (1) |  |  |
|  | Restricted |  |  | Price |  |  | Vesting
Date of Grant |  | Stock Awarded |  |  | Per Share |  |  | Period
September 6, 2022 |  |  | 37,671 |  |  | $ | 4.58 |  |  | 1 to 3 years
August 10, 2022 |  |  | 82,016 |  |  | $ | 5.06 |  |  | 3 years
July 22, 2021 |  |  | 37,991 |  |  | $ | 14.75 |  |  | 3 years
August 6, 2020 |  |  | 129,896 |  |  | $ | 11.01 |  |  | 3 years
(1) Price per share represents closing price of our common stock on the date the respective award was granted. Overall We recorded compensation expense of $808,000, $893,000, and $614,000 within selling, general, and administrative expense for time-based restricted stock units in fiscal 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. As of April 30, 2023, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to our time-based restricted stock units was $759,000, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 1.5 years. As of April 30, 2023, our time-based restricted stock unit awards that were expected to vest had a fair value totaling $1.6 million. Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units Senior Executives We grant performance-based restricted stock units to senior executives which could earn up to a certain number of shares of common stock if certain performance targets are met over a three-fiscal year performance period, as defined in the related restricted stock unit award agreements. The number of shares of common stock that are earned based on the performance targets that have been achieved may be adjusted based on a market-based total shareholder return component, as defined in the related restricted stock unit award agreements. Our performance-based restricted stock units granted to senior executives were measured based on their fair market value on the date of grant. The fair market value per share was determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model for the market-based total shareholder return component and the closing price of our common stock for the performance-based component. The following table provides assumptions used to determine the fair market value of the market-based total shareholder return component using the Monte Carlo simulation model on our outstanding performance-based restricted stock units granted to senior executives on August 10, 2022, and July 22, 2021:
|  | August 10, |  |  | July 22, |
|  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Closing price of our common stock |  | $ | 5.06 |  |  | $ | 14.75 |
Expected volatility of our common stock |  |  | 48.2 | % |  |  | 54.2 | %
Expected volatility of peer companies (1) |  | 41.6% - 105.1% |  |  | 45.7% - 101.5% |
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | 3.13 | % |  |  | 0.33 | %
Dividend yield |  |  | 0.00 | % |  |  | 3.00 | %
Correlation coefficient of peer companies (1) |  | 0.05 - 0.23 |  |  | 0.03 - 0.35 |
(1) The expected volatility and correlation coefficient of our peer companies for the August 10, 2022, and July 22, 2021, grant dates were based on peer companies that were approved by the Compensation Committee of our board of directors as an aggregate benchmark for determining the market-based total shareholder return component. Therefore, we disclosed ranges of the expected volatility and correlation coefficient for the companies that represented this peer group. Key Employees We grant performance-based restricted stock units to key employees which could earn up to a certain number of shares of common stock if certain performance targets are met over a three-fiscal year performance period, as defined in the related restricted stock unit award agreements. Our performance-based restricted stock units granted to key employees were measured based on the fair market value (the closing price of our common stock) on the date of grant. No market-based total shareholder return component was included in these awards. Overall The following table summarizes information related to our grants of performance-based restricted stock units associated with certain senior executives and key employees that were unvested as of April 30, 2023:

(1) Performance-based restricted stock units awarded to certain senior executives. (2) Performance-based restricted stock units awarded to key employees. (3) Amounts represent the maximum number of common stock shares that could be earned if certain performance targets are met, as defined in the related restricted stock unit award agreements. (4) Compensation cost is based on an assessment each reporting period to determine the probability of whether or not certain performance targets will be met and how many shares are expected to be earned as of the end of the vesting period. These amounts represent the number of shares that are expected to vest as of April 30, 2023. (5) Price per share represents the fair market value per share ($1.14 per $1, or an increase of $0.71 to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant) determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model for the market-based total shareholder return component and the closing price of our common stock ($5.06) for the performance-based component of the performance-based restricted stock units granted to senior executives on August 10, 2022. (6) Price per share represents the fair market value per share ($1.08 per $1, or an increase of $1.18 to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant) determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model for the market-based total shareholder return component and the closing price of our common stock ($14.75) for the performance-based component of the performance-based restricted stock units granted to certain senior executives on July 22, 2021. (7) Price per share represents the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.
