The Company accounts for stock-based compensation through the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for share-based payment awards made to employees over the related requisite service period, including PSUs, RSUs and restricted shares (all part of our 2020 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan). Upon meeting the time-based vesting and, if applicable, any performance conditions, common shares of the Company (net of applicable tax withholding) are issued to the employee in exchange for each share-based unit.

RSUs generally have time-based vesting requirements with equal and annual graded vesting over approximately three years subsequent to the grant date. Upon voluntary termination of employment by any employee who is “retirement eligible” as of his or her termination date, the next vesting after the termination of employment will continue to vest. In order to be retirement eligible, an employee must be at least 62 years old, have completed a minimum of five years of service with the Company, and have provided at least three months’ prior written notice of termination of employment. All outstanding employee and director RSU awards are eligible for dividend equivalents regardless of vesting status.

Restricted Stock Units

The weighted-average grant fair value per share for RSUs granted during the fiscal years ended March 29, 2024, March 31, 2023 and March 25, 2022 was $36.14, $23.65, $26.00, respectively. The stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested awards not yet recorded at March 29, 2024 was $43,404, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average of 1.03 years.

The total fair value of RSUs vested was $23,032, $29,732 and $12,650 during the fiscal years ended March 29, 2024, March 31, 2023 and March 25, 2022, respectively.

Performance Stock Units

The Company also awards PSUs to its senior personnel based on achievement of metrics tied to financial plans approved by its Board of Directors for establishing target performances. Each award reflects a target number of shares (“Target Shares”) that may be issued to the award recipient. PSU awards are generally earned upon the completion of a multi-year performance period. Whether units are earned at the end of the performance period is determined based on the achievement of certain performance objectives over the performance period. The performance objectives include achieving various metrics such as revenue targets and cumulative earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization levels for the performance period, and also include a performance objective relating to relative total shareholder return. Depending on the results achieved over the multi-year performance period, the actual number of shares that a grant recipient may receive during and at the end of the period ranges from 0% to 200% of the Target Shares granted.

Included in the outstanding shares are 76,306 and 396,171 PSUs as of March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively, that have vested but have not been issued. PSUs are included at 0% - 200% of target goals. The total compensation cost related to unvested awards not yet recorded at March 29, 2024 was $16,201, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average of 2.32 years.

The total grant fair value of PSUs vested was $22,777 and $12,127 during the fiscal years ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively. There were no PSUs that had vested during fiscal year March 25, 2022.
