Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
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 24, 2023, the following PSUs have been issued and remained outstanding:
767,600 PSUs to be earned over the period of 2024 through 2026 (the "2024 PSUs"),
428,700 PSUs to be earned over the period of 2023 through 2025 (the "2023 PSUs") and
448,300 PSUs to be earned over the period of 2022 through 2024 (the "2022 PSUs").
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. The awards will be forfeited if a participant leaves the company for reasons other than retirement, disability or death or if the participant engages in any competition with us, as defined in the Incentive Compensation Plan.
As of November 24, 2023, the 2024 PSUs, 2023 PSUs and 2022 PSUs were considered granted as follows:
In Q1 2024, the performance conditions were established for Tranche 1 of the 2024 PSUs, Tranche 2 of the 2023 PSUs and Tranche 3 of the 2022 PSUs, and accordingly, such tranches were considered granted in Q1 2024.
In Q1 2023, the performance conditions were established for Tranche 1 of the 2023 PSUs and Tranche 2 of the 2022 PSUs, and accordingly, such tranches were considered granted in Q1 2023.
In Q1 2022, the performance conditions were established for Tranche 1 of the 2022 PSUs, and accordingly, such tranche was considered granted in Q1 2022.
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 total fair value of $4.5, $3.5 and $2.3 for the PSUs with market conditions granted in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, that remained outstanding as of November 24, 2023. The Monte Carlo simulation was computed using the following assumptions:

As of November 24, 2023, there was $2.6 of remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested PSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 1.8 years.
Restricted Stock Units
During the nine months ended November 24, 2023, we awarded 1,767,505 restricted stock units ("RSUs") to certain employees. RSUs have restrictions on transfer which lapse up to three years after the date of grant, at which time the RSUs are 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 grant date. For participants who are or become retirement-eligible during the service period for awards that are considered retirement-eligible, the RSUs are expensed over the period ending on the date that the participant becomes retirement-eligible. Typically, these awards will be forfeited if a participant leaves the company for reasons other than retirement, disability or death or if the participant engages in any competition with us, as defined in the Incentive Compensation Plan.
