16. Stock-Based Compensation

On October 23, 2013, UNIFI’s shareholders approved the Unifi, Inc. 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2013 Plan”). The 2013 Plan replaced the 2008 Unifi, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2008 LTIP”). No additional awards can be granted under the 2008 LTIP; however, prior awards outstanding under the 2008 LTIP remain subject to that plan’s provisions. The 2013 Plan authorized the issuance of 1,000 shares of common stock, subject to certain increases in the event outstanding awards under the 2008 LTIP expired, were forfeited or otherwise terminated unexercised.

The 2013 Plan expired in accordance with its terms on October 24, 2018, and the Unifi, Inc. Amended and Restated 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Amended 2013 Plan”) became effective on that same day, upon approval by shareholders at UNIFI’s annual meeting of shareholders held on October 31, 2018.  The Amended 2013 Plan increased the number of shares available for future issuance pursuant to awards granted under the Amended 2013 Plan to 1,250 and removed provisions no longer applicable due to the recent changes to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The material terms and provisions of the Amended 2013 Plan are otherwise similar to those of the 2013 Plan.

On October 29, 2020, UNIFI’s shareholders approved the Unifi, Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The 2020 Plan set the number of shares available for future issuance pursuant to awards granted under the 2020 Plan to 850.  No additional awards can be granted under prior plans; however, awards outstanding under a respective prior plan remain subject to that plan’s provisions.

The following table provides information as of July 3, 2022 with respect to the number of securities remaining available for future issuance under the 2020 Plan:

On May 1, 2020, excluded from the fiscal 2020 table above, UNIFI granted stock options to purchase 533 shares of its common stock to a key employee with an exercise price of $11.74 and 10-year contractual terms, as follows:

 

100 vested immediately and had a grant date fair value of $4.83 using the Black-Scholes model;

 

100 cliff-vest after three years of service and had a grant date fair value of $4.83 using the Black-Scholes model;

 

100 vest following a common stock price attainment of $40 for ten consecutive trading days and four years of service or a common stock price attainment of $50 for ten consecutive trading days after four years of service and before five years of service and had a grant date fair value of $2.70 under a Monte Carlo simulation; and

 

233 vest following a common stock price attainment of $50 for ten consecutive trading days and five years of service and had a grant date fair value of $2.33 under a Monte Carlo simulation.

The Black-Scholes model used the following weighted average assumptions for the above awards:

At July 3, 2022, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested stock options was $904, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.

For fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020, the total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $60, $85, and $147, respectively.  The amount of cash received from the exercise of stock options was $28, $0 and $29 for fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.  The tax benefit realized from stock options exercised was $8, $11, and $20 for fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

Stock Units and Share Units

During fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020, UNIFI granted 80, 73, and 127 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), respectively, to certain key employees.  The employee RSUs are subject to a vesting restriction and convey no rights of ownership in shares of Company common stock until such employee RSUs have vested and been distributed to the grantee in the form of Company common stock.  The employee RSUs vest over a three-year period and will be converted into an equivalent number of shares of Company common stock (for distribution to the grantee) on each vesting date, unless the grantee has elected to defer the receipt of the shares of stock until separation from service.  UNIFI estimated the weighted average fair value of each employee RSU granted during fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020 to be $23.45, $15.65, and $19.74 respectively.

During fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020, UNIFI granted 32 vested share units (“VSUs”), 37 RSUs, and 24 VSUs (collectively, the “units”), respectively, to UNIFI’s non-employee directors.  The units became fully vested on the grant date but convey no rights of ownership in shares of Company common stock until such units have been distributed to the grantee in the form of Company common stock.  If a grantee defers his or her distribution, the units are converted into an equivalent number of shares of Company common stock and distributed to the grantee following the grantee’s termination of service as a member of the Board.  UNIFI estimated the fair value of each unit granted during fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020 to be $22.03 $15.91, and $27.15, respectively. 

During fiscal 2022, UNIFI granted 53 performance share units (“PSUs”) to certain key employees. The employee PSUs are subject to a performance-based vesting restriction and convey no rights of ownership in shares of Company common stock until such employee PSUs have vested and been distributed to the grantee in the form of Company common stock. Consistent with the vesting provisions of each PSU, between 50% and 200% of the PSUs become vested, if at all, on the date that the associated performance metric is achieved, and will be converted into shares of stock (for distribution to the grantee) on each vesting date, unless the grantee has elected to defer the receipt of the shares of stock until separation from service. The percentage of PSUs that vest is based on the metric achieved on the vesting date compared to the targeted metric defined in the award agreement. UNIFI estimated the weighted average fair value of each unit granted during fiscal 2022 to be $23.27. As of July 3, 2022, the 53 PSUs granted in fiscal 2022 are not expected to vest.

UNIFI estimates the fair value of RSUs, VSUs and PSUs based on the market price of UNIFI’s common stock at the award grant date.

At July 3, 2022, the number of RSUs, VSUs and PSUs vested and expected to vest was 426, with an aggregate intrinsic value of $5,972.  The aggregate intrinsic value of the 245 vested RSUs, VSUs, and PSUs at July 3, 2022 was $3,434.

The unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested RSUs and PSUs at July 3, 2022 was $1,634, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.6 years.

For fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020, the total intrinsic value of RSUs, VSUs, and PSUs converted was $1,715, $1,216, and $1,708, respectively.  The tax benefit realized from the conversion of RSUs was $260, $159, and $206 for fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

The total cost charged against income related to all stock-based compensation arrangements was as follows:
