Common Stock

The Company acquired and retired 1,652,887 shares of its common stock in fiscal 2018 at an average cost of $77.31 per share for a total cost of $127.8 million. At a meeting of the Board of Directors in July 2018, the Company's Board of Directors approved the extinguishment of the existing 3.0 million share repurchase program that was approved in November 2013 and replaced it with an authorization to purchase up to $250.0 million of shares. At a meeting of the Board of Directors on October 25, 2019, the July 2018 repurchase authorization was extinguished and replaced with an authorization to purchase up to $250.0 million of shares. In fiscal 2019, the Company acquired and retired under the July 2018 repurchase authorization 2,013,782 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $74.52 per share for a total cost of $150.1 million. Also in fiscal 2019, the Company acquired and retired 180,763 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $83.01 per share for a total cost of $15.0 million under the October 25, 2019 repurchase authorization.

There is approximately $235.0 million in common stock available for repurchase under the October 25, 2019 repurchase authorization as of December 28, 2019.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognized approximately $13.0 million, $16.9 million and $13.6 million in share-based compensation expense in fiscal years 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income for share-based compensation expense was $3.1 million, $4.1 million and $5.2 million in fiscal years 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company recognizes compensation expense on grants of share-based compensation awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of each award. The total fair value of shares and options vested was $23.0 million, $12.8 million and $11.9 million in fiscal years 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. On October 10, 2018, the Company entered into a retirement
agreement with the CEO resulting in the modification of the CEO's unvested awards. The Company expensed the modified awards over the modified service term. The modification increased the amount of unrecognized compensation cost and reduced the weighted average period in which the Company recognized compensation cost. On December 27, 2019, the Company entered into a retirement agreement with the COO resulting in the modification of certain of the COO's unvested awards. The Company expects to recognize the modified award values over the modified service term. The modification increased the amount of unrecognized compensation cost and reduced the weighted average period in which the Company expects to recognize the unrecognized compensation cost. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation awards was approximately $18.5 million, net of estimated forfeitures, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of approximately 1.9 years as of December 28, 2019.

During 2018, the Company's shareholders approved the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan ("2018 Plan"). The 2018 Plan authorizes the issuance of 2.1 million shares of common stock, plus the number of shares reserved under the prior 2013 Equity Incentive Plan that are not the subject of outstanding awards for equity-based awards and terminates any further grants under prior equity plans. Approximately 3.6 million shares were available for future grant or payment under the 2018 Plans as of December 28, 2019.

Options and Stock Appreciation Rights

The Company uses stock settled stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) as a form of share-based incentive awards. SARs are the right to receive stock in an amount equal to the appreciation in value of a share of stock over the base price per share that generally vest over 5 years and expire 10 years from the grant date. All grants are made at prices equal to the fair market value of the stock on the grant date. For fiscal years ended December 28, 2019, December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017, expired and canceled shares were immaterial.

The table below presents SARs share-based compensation activity for the fiscal years ended 2019, 2018 and 2017 (in millions):

The average risk-free interest rate is based on US Treasury security rates in effect as of the grant date. The expected dividend yield is based on the projected annual dividend as a percentage of the estimated market value of the Company's common stock as of the grant date. The Company estimated the expected volatility using a weighted average of daily historical volatility of the Company's stock price over the expected term of the award. The Company estimated the expected term using historical data.

The amount of options and SARs expected to vest is materially consistent with those outstanding and not yet exercisable.

Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock awards ("RSAs") and restricted stock units ("RSUs") consist of shares or the rights to shares of the Company's stock. The awards are restricted such that they are subject to substantial risk of forfeiture and to restrictions on their sale or other transfer. As defined in the individual grant agreements, acceleration of vesting may occur under a change in control, or death, disability or normal retirement of the grantee.

Performance Share Units

Performance share unit awards ("PSUs") consist of shares or the rights to shares of the Company's stock which are awarded to associates of the Company. These shares are payable upon the determination that the Company achieved certain established performance targets and can range from 0% to 200% of the targeted payout based on the actual results. PSUs have a performance period of 3 years, vest three years from the grant date and are issued at a performance target of 100%. The PSUs have performance criteria based on a return on invested capital metric or they have performance criteria using returns relative to the Company's peer group. As set forth in the individual grant agreements, acceleration of vesting may occur under a change in control, death or disability. There are no voting rights with these instruments until vesting occurs and a share of stock is issued. Some of the PSU awards are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation method as of the grant date while others are valued using the closing market price less net present value of dividends as of the grant date depending on the performance criteria for the award.
The assumptions used in the Company's Monte Carlo simulation related to grants for performance share units were as follows:
