Share-based Payment Arrangement SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Performance Units
We have issued performance units (“PSUs”) to certain employees which are earned over a three-year performance period based on performance conditions established annually by the Compensation Committee within the first three months of the applicable fiscal year. The PSUs are then modified based on achievement of certain total shareholder return results relative to a comparison group of companies, which is a market condition. When the performance conditions for a fiscal year are established, or if the performance conditions involve a qualitative assessment and such assessment has been made, one-third of the PSUs issued are considered granted. Therefore, each of the three fiscal years within the performance period is considered an individual tranche of the award (referred to as "Tranche 1," "Tranche 2" and "Tranche 3," respectively).
As of November 26, 2021, the following PSUs have been issued and remained outstanding:
•448,300 PSUs to be earned over a three-year performance period of 2022 through 2024 (the "2022 PSUs"),
•529,500 PSUs to be earned over a three-year performance period of 2021 through 2023 (the "2021 PSUs") and
•296,600 PSUs to be earned over a three-year performance period of 2020 through 2022 (the "2020 PSUs").
In Q1 2022, the performance conditions were established for Tranche 1 of the 2022 PSUs, Tranche 2 of the 2021 PSUs and Tranche 3 of the 2020 PSUs. Accordingly, one-third of each of these PSUs were considered granted in Q1 2022.
In Q1 2021, the performance conditions were established for Tranche 1 of the 2021 PSUs and Tranche 2 of the 2020 PSUs. These performance conditions involved a qualitative assessment which was made by the Compensation Committee in Q4 2021. Accordingly, one-third of each of these PSUs were considered granted in Q4 2021.
In Q1 2020, the performance conditions were established for Tranche 1 of the 2020 PSUs. Accordingly, one-third of the 2020 PSUs were considered granted in Q1 2020.
Once granted, the PSUs are expensed and recorded in Additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets over the remaining performance period. For participants who are or become retirement-eligible during the performance period, the PSUs are expensed over the period ending on the date the participant becomes retirement-eligible.
We used the Monte Carlo simulation model to calculate the fair value of the market conditions on the respective grant dates, which resulted in a fair value of $6.1, $3.7 and $1.6 for the PSUs with market conditions granted in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Monte Carlo simulation was computed using the following assumptions:

Restricted Stock Units
During the nine months ended November 26, 2021, we awarded 1,155,818 restricted stock units ("RSUs") to certain employees. RSUs have restrictions on transfer which lapse three years after the date of grant, at which time the RSUs will be issued as unrestricted shares of Class A Common Stock. RSUs are expensed and recorded in Additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets over the requisite service period based on the value of the shares on the date of grant. For participants who are or become retirement-eligible during the service period, the RSUs are expensed over the period ending on the date the participant becomes retirement-eligible.
The total RSU expense and associated tax benefit for all outstanding awards for the three and nine months ended November 26, 2021 and November 27, 2020 are as follows:
