5. Long-Term Incentive Plans

The following is a summary of the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”). All equity awards granted under long-term incentive plans are issued from the Company’s stockholder-approved 2016 Plan. See Note 6, Stock-Based Compensation.

The LTIPs are granted annually, and each LTIP covers a three-year performance period. Each participant in the LTIP participates based on that participant’s “Target Cash Value,” which is defined as the participant’s annual base salary (on the participant’s effective date) multiplied by his or her LTIP percentage. Under each LTIP, 50% of each participant’s Target Cash Value is subject to time-based vesting and 50% is subject to performance-based vesting. Awards for any achievement of performance targets are not granted until the performance targets are achieved and then are subject to additional vesting through August 31 following the end of the applicable performance period.

At May 2, 2026, the Company had two LTIPs with active performance periods: the 2024-2026 LTIP and the 2025-2027 LTIP. While the performance period under the 2023-2025 LTIP was completed at the end of fiscal 2025, the remaining tranche of the time-based awards will not vest until April 1, 2027. The time-based awards under each LTIP were granted in a combination of 50% RSUs and 50% cash.

Performance targets for the 2024-2026 LTIP and the 2025-2027 LTIP were established and approved by the Compensation Committee with an effective date of April 1, 2024, and April 1, 2025, respectively. The performance period for each LTIP is three years. Awards for any achievement of performance targets will not be granted until the performance targets are achieved and then will be subject to an additional service requirement through August 31, 2027 and August 31, 2028, respectively. If the Company completes the Merger, as discussed in Note 12, Agreement and Plan of Merger, the performance-based awards would be cancelled and a payout equal to actual achievement, on a pro-rated basis, on the date of closing would be made to eligible participants.

The time-based awards under the 2024-2026 LTIP and the 2025-2027 LTIP vest in four equal installments through April 1, 2028 and April 1, 2029, respectively. Assuming that the Company achieves the performance targets at target levels and all time-based awards vest, the compensation expense associated with the 2024-2026 LTIP and 2025-2027 LTIP is estimated to be approximately $4.9 million for each LTIP. Approximately half of the compensation expense for each LTIP relates to the time-based awards and is being expensed straight-line over 49 months.

At May 2, 2026, there was no accrual for performance-based awards under either LTIP.
