Stock Based Compensation	NOTE 5. STOCK BASED-COMPENSATION Stock-Based Compensation Expense We record stock compensation expense over an equity award’s vesting period based on the award’s fair value at the date of grant. We recorded compensation expense for stock-based awards of $2.2 million for the three months ended April 1, 2023 and $2.2 million for the three months ended April 2, 2022. As of April 1, 2023, there was $18.0 million in total unrecognized compensation cost related entirely to restricted share awards, including time-vesting and those with performance conditions. These costs are expected to be recognized in earnings on an accelerated basis over the weighted average remaining vesting period of 1.9 years at April 1, 2023. Of the $2.2 million and $2.2 million in stock-based compensation expense in the three months ended April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022, respectively, $1.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively, are classified within selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations, with the remainders classified within cost of sales. Issuance On February 15, 2023, we issued 524,114 shares of restricted stock to certain executive and non-executive employees of the Company, under the Company’s 2023 long-term incentive plan (“2023 LTIP”). Half of the shares awarded under the 2023 LTIP, or 262,057 shares, are subject to adjustment based on the performance of the Company for the 2023 fiscal year. A portion of the 262,057 performance shares issued under the 2023 LTIP are also subject to a total shareholder return ("TSR") component, which will not be finalized until the third anniversary of the February 15, 2023 grant date. Specifically, 37.5% of the one-half of the restricted stock awarded in the 2023 LTIP are performance restricted shares which will not be earned unless certain financial performance metrics are met by the Company for the 2023 fiscal year. The performance criteria, as defined in the share awards, provide for a graded awarding of shares based on the percentage by which the Company meets earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") as defined in our 2023 business plan. The percentages, ranging from less than 80% to greater than 120% of the target amount of that EBITDA metric, provide for the awarding of shares ranging from 0% to 200% of the target amount of shares with respect to 37.5% of the 262,057 performance shares, or 98,273 shares. The remaining 62.5% of the 262,057 performance shares, or 163,784 shares, are subject to the same EBITDA metric, but are also subject to a TSR component which stratifies the performance of the Company's common stock price compared to a defined peer group of companies over the three-year period subsequent to February 15, 2023, such that if the Company's TSR falls at the 75th percentile or higher compared to the peer group, grantees will receive an additional 25% of performance shares. If the Company's TSR falls at the 25th percentile or lower compared to the peer group, grantees will forfeit 25% of performance shares. If the Company's TSR falls within the 75th and 25th percentiles, there will be no additional adjustment and grantees will receive their performance shares as per the EBITDA metric previously discussed. The final award is also affected by forfeitures upon the termination of a grantee’s employment with the Company. The remaining 262,057 shares from the 2023 LTIP are not subject to adjustment based on any performance or other criteria, but rather, vest in three equal installments on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date, assuming the grantee is employed by the Company on those vesting dates. The grant date fair value of the 2023 LTIP was $22.64 per share for those shares not subject to adjustment based on any performance or other criteria except the passage of time, and the 37.5% of shares subject only to the EBITDA criteria of Company performance. For the 62.5% of performance shares subject to both the EBITDA criteria of Company performance and the TSR component, the grant date fair value was $26.08 per share as determined by a third-party valuation specialist engaged by the Company, which used Monte Carlo simulation techniques to determine the fair value of such shares, which we consider to be a Level 3 input. As such, the weighted-average fair value of the 262,057 shares subject to the performance of the Company for the 2023 fiscal year, including those shares subject to the TSR, is $24.79 per share.
