Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share and to cash dividends as declared 54% greater than those paid on Class B common stock. Class B common stock is entitled to 10 votes per share. Class A and Class B common stock share equally on a per share basis in any distributions in liquidation. Shares of Class B common stock are convertible on a share-for-share basis for Class A common stock at any time. Class B common stock is not transferable except to another holder of Class B common stock or by will or under the laws of intestacy or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company approving the transfer. As a result of this voting structure, the holders of the Class B common stock control greater than 50% of the total voting power of the shareholders of the Company and control the election of the Board of Directors.The Company has authorized 10,000 shares of preferred stock. No shares have been issued.

Repurchases of Village Class A common stock may be made from time to time through a variety of methods, including open market purchases and other negotiated transactions. In September 2019, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an incremental $5,000 share repurchase program, supplementing the existing authorization. The Company did not make any open market purchases under this repurchase program in fiscal 2023 and 2022. The Company's share repurchase program had $3,203 remaining at July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022. In fiscal 2023, the Company purchased $3,739 in shares of Class A Common Stock that were surrendered in satisfaction of withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted shares in fiscal 2023.

Employees' Retirement Plan related to the termination and related liquidation of the plan's assets (see note 9). Village has two share-based compensation plans, which are described below. The compensation cost charged against income for these plans was $3,274 and $2,297 in fiscal 2023 and 2022, respectively. Total income tax benefit recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for share-based compensation arrangements was $1,100 and $532 in fiscal 2023 and 2022, respectively. On December 16, 2016, the shareholders of the Company approved the Village Super Market, Inc. 2016 Stock Plan (the “2016 Plan”) under which awards of incentive and non-qualified stock options and restricted stock may be made. There are 1,200 shares of Class A common stock authorized for issuance to employees and directors under the 2016 Plan. Terms and conditions of awards are determined by the Board of Directors. Restricted stock awards primarily cliff vest three years from the date of grant. There are 597 shares remaining for future grants under the 2016 Plan.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The Company uses historical data for similar groups of employees in order to estimate the expected life of options granted. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock for a period of years corresponding to the expected life of the option. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of grant for securities with a maturity period similar to the expected life of the option. The following table summarizes restricted stock activity under all plans for the following years:  20232022 SharesWeighted-average grant date fair valueSharesWeighted-average grant date fair valueNonvested at beginning of year359 $19.40 392 $19.55 Granted512 23.00 9 21.52 Vested(358)19.61 (26)21.92 Forfeited(10)22.50 (16)20.21 Nonvested at end of year503 $22.90 359 $19.40  The total fair value of restricted shares vested during fiscal 2023 and 2022 was $8,227 and $588, respectively.  As of July 29, 2023, there was $10,114 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested restricted stock granted under the above plans.
