Employee Share Awards

During the year-to-date period ended June 25, 2025, we granted certain employees 0.9 million performance share units (“PSUs”) with a weighted average grant date fair value of $6.73 per share that vest based on the total shareholder return (“TSR”) of our common stock compared to the TSRs of a group of peer companies. Half of these PSUs will be settled in cash, net of taxes (liability-classified awards) and half will be settled in shares of stock, net of shares withheld for taxes (equity-classified awards). As the TSR based PSUs contain a market condition, a Monte Carlo valuation was used to determine the grant date fair value. The performance period for these PSUs is the three-year fiscal period beginning December 26, 2024 and ending December 29, 2027. The PSUs will vest and be earned at the end of the performance period at which point the relative TSR achievement percentages will be applied to the vested units (from 0% to 150% of the target award).

During the year-to-date period ended June 25, 2025, we also granted certain employees 1.4 million restricted stock units ("RSUs") with a weighted average grant date fair value of $6.08 per share. These RSUs generally vest evenly over the three-year fiscal period beginning December 26, 2024 and ending December 29, 2027. We recognize compensation cost associated with these RSU awards on a straight-line basis over the entire performance period of the award.

During the year-to-date period ended June 25, 2025, we issued 0.3 million shares of common stock related to vested PSUs and RSUs for employees. In addition, 0.2 million shares of common stock were withheld in lieu of taxes related to vested PSUs and RSUs.
 
As of June 25, 2025, we had $19.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested PSU awards and RSU awards outstanding, which have a weighted average remaining contractual term of 2.0 years.

Restricted Stock Units for Board Members

During the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 25, 2025, we granted 0.2 million RSUs (which are equity classified) with a weighted average grant date fair value of $4.44 per unit to non-employee members of our Board of Directors. The RSUs vest after a one-year service period. A director may elect to convert these awards to shares of common stock either on a specific date in the future (while still serving as a member of our Board of Directors), upon termination as a member of our Board of Directors, or in three equal annual installments commencing after termination of service as a member of our Board of Directors.

During the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 25, 2025, 0.2 million RSUs were converted into shares of common stock and fewer than 0.1 million RSUs were converted to cash.
As of June 25, 2025, we had $0.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSU awards outstanding, which have a weighted average remaining contractual term of 0.9 years.
