Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense, for its awards of restricted stock units, in an amount equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock on the grant date of the respective award.
The Company reserved 6,076,001 shares of common stock for issuance or transfer under the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan, which allows for grants of restricted stock units, as well as other equity awards.
Awards of Restricted Stock Units
During the thirteen weeks ended July 29, 2017, the Company did not grant time-based or performance-based restricted stock units under the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan compared to a total of 106,984 time-based and performance-based restricted stock units with an aggregate fair value of $1.6 million granted in the same period of the prior year.
During the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2017, the Company granted 506,572 time-based and performance-based restricted stock units with an aggregate fair value of $4.7 million to certain employees and non-employee directors under the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan compared to a total of 402,132 time-based and performance-based restricted stock units with an aggregate fair value of $7.4 million granted in the same period of the prior year. The Company determined the fair value of the awards based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.
The majority of the time-based restricted stock units vest and settle in shares of the Company’s common stock, on a one-for-one basis, in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. Restricted stock units issued to non-employee directors vest after a one-year period from the grant date. The Company recognizes the expense relating to these units, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
Performance-based restricted stock units vest upon the completion of a three-year period of time (cliff vesting), subject to the employee’s continuing employment throughout and the Company’s achievement of annual earnings per share targets, or other Company performance targets, during the three-year performance period. The Company recognizes the expense relating to these units, net of estimated forfeitures, based on the probable outcome of achievement of the financial targets, on a straight-line basis over three years.
