Stock Options During both the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended September 30, 2023, the Company did not grant options to purchase shares. During the thirteen weeks ended September 24, 2022, the Company did not grant options to purchase shares. During the twenty-six weeks ended September 24, 2022, the Company granted its Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") an option to purchase 86,189 shares of common stock under the 2020 Plan. This option contains both service and market vesting conditions. Vesting of this option is contingent upon the market price of the Company's common stock achieving three stated price targets for 30 consecutive trading days through the third anniversary of the date of grant. If the first market price target is met, 33% of the option granted will cliff vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant, with an additional 33% of the option vesting on the third anniversary of the date of grant if the second market price target is met, and the last 34% of the option vesting on the third anniversary of the date of grant if the final market price target is met. The total grant date fair value of this option was $4.0 million, with a grant date fair value of $46.41 per share. The Company is recognizing the expense relating to this stock option on a straight-line basis over the three-year service period. The exercise price of this award is $86.96 per share. The fair value of the option was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The following significant assumptions were used as of May 12, 2022, the date of grant: | | | | | Stock price | | $ | 86.96 | | Exercise price | | $ | 86.96 | | Expected option term (1) | | | 6.5 | years | Expected volatility (2) | | | 65.9 | % | Risk-free interest rate (3) | | | 2.8 | % | Expected annual dividend yield | | | 0 | % |
(1) | The Company has limited historical information regarding expected option term. Accordingly, the Company determined the expected life of the options using the simplified method. |
(2) | Stock volatility for each grant is measured using the weighted average of historical daily price changes of the Company’s stock over the most recent period equal to the expected option term of the Company’s awards. |
(3) | The risk-free interest rate is determined using the rate on treasury securities with the same term. |
Intrinsic value for stock options is defined as the difference between the market price of the Company’s common stock on the last business day of the fiscal quarter and the weighted average exercise price of in-the-money stock options outstanding at the end of each fiscal period. The following table summarizes the stock award activity for the twenty-six weeks ended September 30, 2023: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Grant Date | | Weighted | | | | | | | | Weighted | | Average | | Aggregate | | | Stock | | Average | | Remaining | | Intrinsic | | | Options | | Exercise Price | | Contractual Life | | Value | | | | | | | | (in years) | | (in thousands) | Outstanding at April 1, 2023 | | 739,480 | | $ | 31.60 | | | | | | Granted | | — | | $ | — | | | | | | Exercised | | (340,386) | | $ | 25.21 | | | | $ | 22,876 | Cancelled, forfeited or expired | | — | | $ | — | | | | | | Outstanding at September 30, 2023 | | 399,094 | | $ | 37.04 | | 5.7 | | $ | 18,118 | Vested and expected to vest after September 30, 2023 | | 399,094 | | $ | 37.04 | | 5.7 | | $ | 18,118 | Exercisable at September 30, 2023 | | 242,107 | | $ | 23.54 | | 4.6 | | $ | 13,957 |

Restricted Stock Units During the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2023, the Company did not grant restricted stock units. During the twenty-six weeks ended September 30, 2023, the Company granted 132,713 restricted stock units to various directors and employees under the 2020 Plan. The shares granted to employees vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the grant date, provided that the respective award recipient continues to be employed by the Company through each of those dates (subject to certain exceptions). The shares granted to the Company’s directors vest on the first day following the first anniversary of the date of the grant. The grant date fair value of these awards for the twenty-six weeks ended September 30, 2023 totaled $8.6 million. The Company is recognizing the expense relating to these awards on a straight-line basis over the service period of each award (subject to certain exceptions), commencing on the date of the grant. During the thirteen weeks ended September 24, 2022, the Company did not grant restricted stock units. During the twenty-six weeks ended September 24, 2022, the Company granted 94,262 restricted stock units to various employees under the 2020 Plan. The shares granted to employees vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the grant date, provided that the respective award recipient continues to be employed by the Company through each of those dates (subject to certain exceptions). The shares granted to the Company’s directors vest on the first anniversary of the date of the grant. The grant date fair value of these awards for the twenty-six weeks ended September 24, 2022 totaled $8.2 million. The Company is recognizing the expense relating to these awards on a straight-line basis over the service period of each award (subject to certain exceptions), commencing on the date of the grant. Performance Share Units During both the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2023 and September 24, 2022, the Company did not grant performance share units. During the twenty-six weeks ended September 30, 2023 and September 24, 2022, the Company granted 112,740 and 57,843 performance share units, respectively, to various employees under the 2020 Plan with grant date fair values of $7.3 million and $5.0 million, respectively. Performance share units are stock-based awards in which the number of shares ultimately received depends on the Company’s performance against its cumulative earnings per share target over a three-year performance period. The performance period for the awards granted during the twenty-six weeks ended September 30, 2023 began April 2, 2023 and ends March 28, 2026, and the performance period for the awards granted during the twenty-six weeks ended September 24, 2022 began March 27, 2022 and ends March 29, 2025. The performance metrics for these awards were established by the Company at the beginning of the performance periods. At the end of the performance periods, the number of performance share units to be issued is fixed based upon the degree of achievement of the performance goals. If the cumulative three-year performance goals are below the threshold level, the number of performance share units to vest will be 0%, if the performance goals are at the threshold level, the number of performance share units to vest will be 50% of the target amounts, if the performance goals are at the target level, the number of performance share units to vest will be 100% of the target amounts, and if the performance goals are at the maximum level, the number of performance share units to vest will be 200% of the target amounts, each subject to continued service by the applicable award recipients through the last day of the performance periods (subject to certain exceptions). If performance is between threshold and target goals or between target and maximum goals, the number of performance share units to vest will be determined by linear interpolation. The number of shares ultimately issued can range from 0% to 200% of the participant’s target award. The grant date fair value of the performance share units granted during both the twenty-six weeks ended September 30, 2023 and September 24, 2022, respectively, was initially measured using the Company's closing stock price on the dates of grant with the resulting stock compensation expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the three-year vesting periods (subject to certain exceptions). The expense recognized over the vesting periods is adjusted up or down on a quarterly basis based on the anticipated performance level during the performance periods. If the performance metrics are not probable of achievement during the performance periods, any previously recognized stock compensation expense is reversed. The awards are forfeited if the threshold performance goals are not achieved as of the end of the performance periods. Stock-Based Compensation Expense Stock-based compensation expense was $2.9 million and $2.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2023 and September 24, 2022, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense was $7.8 million and $7.1 million for the twenty-six weeks ended September 30, 2023 and September 24, 2022, respectively.

All other stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
