Valuation Model and Assumptions

We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of options and the stock purchase plan. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model incorporates various and subjective assumptions, including expected term and expected volatility.

15. Share-Based Compensation (continued)

The table below shows assumptions used to compute share-based compensation expense for awards granted during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021.

(1)On August 24, 2022, the Company granted options and other awards to its new President and Chief Executive Officer, Mary N. Dillon. These awards were granted outside of the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan as employment inducement awards and do not require shareholder approval under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise. Shares available for future grant under this plan are reserved for the sole purpose to issue shares pursuant to her employment inducement awards.

The total fair value of options vested October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021 was $4 million for both periods. The cash received from option exercises during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2022 were $1 million and $4 million, respectively. The related tax benefits realized from option exercises during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2022 were not significant. The cash received from option exercises during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 30, 2021 were not significant and $10 million, respectively. The related tax benefits realized from option exercises during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 30, 2021 were not significant and $2 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units and Performance Stock Units

Restricted stock units (“RSU”) are awarded to certain officers, key employees of the Company, and nonemployee directors. Additionally, performance stock units (“PSU”) are awarded to officers and certain key employees in connection with our long-term incentive program. Each RSU and PSU represents the right to receive one share of our common stock provided that the applicable performance and vesting conditions are satisfied. PSU awards granted in 2022 also include a performance objective based on our relative total shareholder return over the performance period to a pre-determined peer group, assuming the reinvestment of dividends. The fair value of these awards is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation as of the date of the grant and share-based compensation expense will not be adjusted should the target awards vary from actual awards.  

15. Share-Based Compensation (continued)

Generally, RSU awards fully vest after the passage of time, typically three years for employees and one year for nonemployee directors, provided there is continued service with the Company until the vesting date, subject to the terms of the award. PSU awards are earned only after the attainment of performance goals in connection with the relevant performance period and vest after an additional one-year period. No dividends are paid or accumulated on any RSU or PSU awards. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period.

RSU and PSU activity for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2022 is summarized as follows:
