10. Stock-Based Compensation

Short-Term Incentive Plan

On March 24, 2025, the Company granted 643,880 performance share units ("PSUs") to selected employees under the Company's 2025 Short-Term Incentive Plan (the "2025 STIP"), which vest subject to the Company achieving a predetermined measure of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for fiscal 2025 and subject to the employee's continued employment with the Company through March 24, 2026 (the requisite service period). The grant-date fair value of each PSU was estimated to be $5.14 based on the closing price of the common shares on the date of grant. Each reporting period, the number of unvested PSUs that are expected to vest is redetermined and the aggregate grant-date fair value of the redetermined number of PSUs is amortized on a straight-line based over the remaining requisite service period less amounts previously recognized. As at June 28, 2025, the remaining compensation cost not yet recognized as an expense related to the 2025 STIP PSUs that are expected to vest was $2.4 million, which will be amortized over the remaining vesting period of 0.7 years.

Long-Term Incentive Plan

On April 11, 2025, the Company granted 280,622 restricted stock units ("RSUs"), 501,227 PSUs and 594,277 stock options to selected employees under the Company's 2025 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2025 LTIP"). The RSUs vest in three equal annual installments beginning on April 11, 2026, and each vested RSU entitles the employee to receive one Common Share without payment of additional consideration. The vesting of one-half of the PSUs is contingent on the achievement of compound annual growth rate ("CAGR") benchmarks for revenue during the three-year performance period commencing January 1, 2025 and continuing through December 31, 2027, and the vesting of the other one-half of the PSUs is contingent on the achievement of return on invested capital ("ROIC") benchmarks within the same performance period, and subject to the employee's continued employment with the Company through April 11, 2028. The percentage of vested PSUs may range from 0% to 200% based on the Company's achievement of the predetermined CAGR and ROIC benchmarks. Each vested PSU entitles the employee to receive one Common Share without payment of additional consideration. The stock options vest ratably on each of the first through third anniversaries of the grant date and expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. Each vested stock option entitles the employee to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $3.92, which was the closing price of the common shares on April 11, 2025.

The grant-date fair values of each RSU and PSU were estimated to be $3.92 based on the closing price of the common shares on the date of grant. A grant-date fair value of $2.39 was estimated for each stock option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Grant-date stock price $ 3.92  
Exercise price $ 3.92  
Dividend yield   0%  
Expected volatility(a)   62.2%  
Risk-free interest rate(b)   4.2%  
Expected life (in years)(c)   6.0  

(a) Determined based on the historical volatility of the common shares over expected life of the stock options.

(b) Determined based on U.S. Treasury yields with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the stock options.

(c) Determined based on the mid-point of vesting (three years) and expiration (ten years) for the stock options.

The aggregate grant-date fair value of the RSUs, PSUs and stock options granted under the 2025 LTIP was determined to be $4.5 million, which will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period ending April 11, 2028.
