The expense recorded during each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and April 1, 2016, respectively, included $0.5 million related to deferred stock units granted to the members of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Service-based Restricted Stock Units and Deferred Stock Units

The Company’s restricted stock units (“RSUs”) have been issued with vesting periods of three, four, and five years and vest based solely on service conditions. Accordingly, the Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company reduces the compensation expense by an estimated forfeiture rate which is based on anticipated forfeitures and actual experience.

Deferred stock units (“DSUs”) are granted solely to the members of the Company’s Board of Directors, and have been issued as fully vested and non-forfeitable awards upon grant. The compensation expense associated with the DSUs is recognized in full on the respective date of grant.

The table below summarizes activities relating to RSUs and DSUs issued and outstanding under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2017:

The total fair value of RSUs and DSUs that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $4.7 million based on the market price of the underlying stock on the date of vesting.

Performance-based Awards

The Company granted two types of performance-based awards to certain members of the executive management team: non-GAAP EPS performance-based restricted stock units (“EPS-PSUs”) and relative total shareholder return performance-based restricted stock units (“TSR-PSUs”). Both types of performance-based restricted stock units generally cliff vest on the first day following the end of the three-year performance period.

The number of common shares to be issued upon settlement following vesting of the EPS-PSUs is determined based on the Company’s cumulative non-GAAP EPS over the three-year performance period against the target established by the Company’s Board of Directors at the time of grant and will be in the range of zero to 200% of the target number of shares. The Company recognizes the related compensation expense ratably over the performance period based on the number of shares that are deemed probable of vesting at the end of the three-year performance cycle. This probability assessment is performed quarterly and the cumulative effect of a change in the estimated compensation expense, if any, is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the period in which such determination is made.  

The number of shares to be issued upon settlement following vesting of the TSR-PSUs is determined based on the relative market performance of the Company’s common stock compared to the Russell 2000 Index over the three-year performance period using a payout formula established by the Company’s Board of Directors at the time of grant and will be in the range of zero to 200% of the target number of shares. The Company recognizes the related compensation expense based on the fair value of the TSR-PSUs, determined using the Monte-Carlo valuation model as of the date of grant, on a straight-line basis from the grant date to the end of the three-year performance period. Compensation expense will not be affected by the number of TSR-PSUs that will actually vest at the end of the three-year performance period.

The table below summarizes the activities relating to the performance-based awards issued and outstanding under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2017:

Stock Options

The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Key input assumptions include the expected option term, the expected volatility of the common stock over the expected term of the options, the risk-free interest rate, and the expected dividend yield. Compensation expense related to stock options is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. No stock options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2017.
