Restricted Stock Units
The Company periodically grants restricted stock units (“RSUs”), each of which represents an unfunded, unsecured right to receive a share of the Company’s Class A common stock upon vesting. During the thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2026, the Company granted RSUs to certain employees, executive officers, and non-employee directors comprised of service-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs. Service-based RSUs vest based on the grantee’s continued service through the vesting date. The performance-based RSUs cliff vest based on (i) the Company’s achievement of predetermined financial metrics at the end of a three-year performance period and (ii) the grantee’s continued service through the vesting date. Depending on the extent to which the relevant performance goals are achieved, the number of common shares earned upon vesting may range from 0% to 200% of the award granted. The Company assesses the probability of achieving all performance goals on a quarterly basis. The service period for RSUs granted during the period varies by grantee and is one year from the grant date for non-employee directors and two to four years from the grant date for employees and executive officers. The grant-date fair value of service-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs is based on the closing market price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the date of grant.
