As of December 30, 2023, an aggregate of 5 million shares of common stock was authorized for future issuance under the Company’s stock plans, of which 3 million of such shares were issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and delivery of shares upon vesting of restricted stock units and 2 million of such shares were available for future grant.

Restricted and Performance Stock Units

The Company grants restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and restricted stock units with performance conditions (“PSUs”) to executive officers, directors and certain other employees. These units vest over periods ranging from one year to four years and/or upon achievement of specified performance criteria, with associated compensation expense recognized ratably over the vesting period.

Generally, the Company’s PSUs vest contingent on achievement of cumulative non-GAAP earnings per share measured over three fiscal years. If a minimum threshold is not achieved during the measurement period, the PSUs will be cancelled. If the minimum threshold is achieved or exceeded, the number of shares of common stock that will be issued will range from 70% to 130% of the number of PSUs granted, depending on the extent of performance. Additionally, some PSUs may contain a performance condition where the number of shares that vest may be adjusted up or down by up to 15% based on the Company’s total shareholder return relative to that of its peer group over this same period.
