We recorded stock-based compensation expense of $44 million, $48 million and $146 million in fiscal 2022, fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, respectively, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of income.

The Restoration Hardware 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”) was adopted on November 1, 2012. The Stock Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to our employees, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights, cash-based awards and any combination thereof to our employees, directors and consultants and our parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees, directors and consultants.

The Restoration Hardware 2012 Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”) was adopted on November 1, 2012 and on such date 6,829,041 fully vested options were granted under this plan to certain of our employees and advisors. Aside from these options granted on November 1, 2012, no other awards were granted under the Option Plan.

As of January 29, 2022, there were a total of 1,185,322 shares issuable under the Stock Incentive Plan. On January 31, 2022, an additional 430,139 shares became issuable under the Stock Incentive Plan in accordance with the Stock Incentive Plan evergreen provision, increasing the total number of shares issuable under the Stock Incentive Plan to 1,615,461. Awards under the plans reduced the number of shares available for future issuance. Cancellations and forfeitures of awards previously granted under the Stock Incentive Plan increased the number of shares available for future issuance. Cancellations and forfeitures of awards previously granted under the Option Plan were immediately retired and were no longer available for future issuance.

On November 1, 2022, both the Stock Incentive Plan and Option Plan expired. Upon expiration of the Stock Incentive Plan, a total of 1,607,508 shares that were available for future issuance under the plan were cancelled and were no longer available for the grant of awards under the plan.

A summary of stock option activity under the Stock Incentive Plan and the Option Plan was as follows:

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Option Grant

On October 18, 2020, our Board of Directors granted Mr. Friedman an option to purchase 700,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price equal to $385.30 per share under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan.

The option contains selling restrictions on the underlying shares that lapse upon the achievement of both time-based service requirements and stock price performance-based metrics. The option was fully vested on the date of grant but the shares underlying the option remain subject to transfer restrictions to the extent the performance-based and time-based requirements have not been met. The option will result in aggregate non-cash stock compensation expense of $174 million, of which $18 million, $24 million and $117 million was recognized in fiscal 2022, fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, respectively (which is included in the stock-based compensation expense amounts noted above).
