STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND INCENTIVE PERFORMANCE PLANS STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND INCENTIVE PERFORMANCE PLANS
Under the Company's Amended and Restated 2002 Long-Term Incentive and Stock Award Plan (the “2002 Plan”), the Company historically granted equity-based awards to its officers, senior management, other key employees, consultants, and directors. The Company currently utilizes a stockholder-approved plan, The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. 2022 Long Term Incentive and Stock Award Plan (the “2022 Plan”) which was approved at the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on November 17, 2022. The 2022 Plan permits the Company to continue making equity-based and other incentive awards in a manner intended to properly incentivize its employees, directors, consultants and other service providers by aligning their interests with the interests of the Company’s stockholders. The Company also historically granted shares under its 2019 Equity Inducement Award Program (the “2019 Inducement Program”) to induce selected individuals to become employees of the Company. The 2002 Plan, the 2022 Plan and the 2019 Inducement Program are collectively referred to as the “Stock Award Plans.” In conjunction with the Stock Award Plans, the Company maintains a long-term incentive program (the “LTI Program” or “LTIP”) that provides for equity awards, including performance and market-based equity awards that can be earned over defined performance periods. The Company's LTIP plans, with the exception of the 2023 - 2025 LTIP described below, are described in Note 13, Stock-Based Compensation and Incentive Performance Plans, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Form 10-K.

Compensation cost and related income tax benefits recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for stock-based compensation plans were as follows:

Awards of restricted stock are either restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) or restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that are issued at no cost to the recipient. Performance-based or market-based RSUs are issued in the form of performance share units (“PSUs”). A summary of the restricted stock activity (including all RSAs, RSUs and PSUs) for the three months ended September 30, 2023 is as follows:

Vested shares during the three months ended September 30, 2023 include a total of 15 shares related to certain performance-based metrics being met and a total of 224 shares related to service-based RSUs. There were 86 shares surrendered for payment of employee payroll taxes due on shares issued under stock-based compensation plans at an average price of $10.17 per share. There are market-based PSU awards outstanding under both the 2023 – 2025 LTIP and the 2022 – 2024 LTIP. At September 30, 2023, 311 of such shares were outstanding under the 2023 – 2025 LTIP while 61 shares were outstanding under the 2022 – 2024 LTIP. The fair value of RSAs, RSUs and PSUs granted and of shares vested, and the tax benefit recognized from restricted shares vesting was as follows:

At September 30, 2023, there was $13,677 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.66 years.

2023-2025 LTIP

At September 30, 2023, there are 311 such shares outstanding under the LTI Program. Such PSU awards will vest, if at all, pursuant to a defined calculation of either relative TSR or absolute TSR (as defined) over the period from September 6, 2022 through the earlier of (i) September 6, 2025; (ii) the date the participant’s employment is terminated due to death or Disability (as defined); or (iii) the effective date of a Change in Control (as defined) (the “2023 TSR Performance Period”). Vesting of 208 target shares of the outstanding PSU awards is pursuant to a defined calculation of relative TSR over the 2023 TSR Performance Period (the “2023 Relative TSR PSUs”). Vesting of 103 target shares of the outstanding PSU awards is pursuant to the achievement of pre-established three-year compound annual TSR targets over the 2023 TSR Performance Period (the “2023 Absolute TSR PSUs”). Total shares eligible to vest for both the 2023 Relative TSR PSUs and 2023 Absolute TSR PSUs range from zero to 200% of the target amount. Grant date fair values are calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model with grant date fair values per target share and related valuation assumptions as follows for grants prior to January 1, 2023:
