(14) Share-based Compensation

On May 13, 2021, our stockholders approved the Texas Roadhouse, Inc. 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for the granting of various forms of equity awards including options, stock appreciation rights, full value awards, and performance-based awards. This Plan replaced the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan and no subsequent awards will be granted under the 2013 Plan.

The Company provides restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees as a form of share-based compensation. An RSU is the conditional right to receive one share of common stock upon satisfaction of the vesting requirement. In addition to RSUs, the Company provides performance stock units ("PSUs") to executives as a form of share-based compensation. A PSU is the conditional right to receive one share of common stock upon meeting a performance obligation along with the satisfaction of the vesting requirement. The following table summarizes the share-based compensation recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income:

(1)Adjustment to actual payout amount of 6.58% from the January 2020 PSU grant that vested in January 2021.

We grant PSUs to certain of our executives subject to a one-year vesting and the achievement of certain earnings targets, which determine the number of units to vest at the end of the vesting period. Share-based compensation expense is recognized for the number of units expected to vest at the end of the period and is expensed beginning on the grant date and through the performance period. For each grant, PSUs vest after meeting the performance and service conditions. The total intrinsic value of PSUs vested during the years ended December 28, 2021, December 29, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $0.4 million, $5.4 million and $8.8 million, respectively.

On January 8, 2022, 60,026 shares vested related to the January 2021 PSU grant and are expected to be distributed during the 13 weeks ending March 29, 2022. As of December 28, 2021, with respect to unvested PSUs, the amount of unrecognized compensation cost that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.1 year was not

significant. There was no allowable excess tax benefit associated with vested PSUs for the years ended December 28, 2021, December 29, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
