2011 Equity Incentive Plan

In 2011, we adopted the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). The 2011 Plan provided for the grant of stock-based awards to employees, directors, and non-employees under terms and provisions established by the Board of Directors.

The 2011 Plan allowed for the grant of incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options, as well as restricted stock units (“RSU”), restricted stock awards (“RSA”), and stock appreciation rights. Only incentive and nonqualified stock options were granted under the 2011 Plan. Employee stock option awards generally vested 25% on the first anniversary of the grant date with the remaining shares subject to the option vesting ratably over the next three years subject to the employee’s continued service with the Company. Options generally expire after 10 years. Effective upon our initial public offering in 2017, the 2011 Plan was replaced by the 2017 Incentive Plan.

2017 Incentive Plan

In November 2017, our Board of Directors and stockholders adopted our 2017 Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The remaining shares available for issuance under our 2011 Plan became reserved for issuance under the 2017 Plan. Our 2017 Plan provides for the grant of Class A incentive stock options to employees and for the grant of nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, RSAs, RSU awards, performance restricted stock unit (“PSU”) awards, performance cash awards, and other forms of stock awards to employees, directors, and consultants. Employee stock option awards generally begin to vest six months after the grant date with the remaining shares subject to the option vesting ratably over the next 30 months. Options generally expire after 10 years. RSU awards made to employees generally vest ratably on a quarterly basis subject to the employee’s continued service with the Company. PSU awards made to employees generally vest on a quarterly basis following the end of the performance period, subject to the employee’s continued service with the Company. As of November 2, 2024, the number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2017 Plan was 50,276,797 shares of Class A common stock, and the number of shares available for grant was 2,847,665.

2019 Inducement Plan

In October 2019, our Board of Directors adopted our 2019 Inducement Plan (the “2019 Plan”). Our 2019 Plan provides for the grant of Class A nonqualified stock options and RSU awards to individuals who satisfy the standards for inducement grants under the relevant Nasdaq Stock Market rules. As of November 2, 2024, the number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2019 Plan was 10,750,000 shares of Class A common stock and the number of shares available for grant was 1,436,629.

Performance Restricted Stock Unit Awards

The Compensation Committee approved certain PSU awards in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, which vest in multiple tranches over a one- or three-year period. Each PSU award represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock. The awards have both service and performance conditions. The actual number of shares earned on vesting ranges from 0% to 150% of the target number granted, depending on the attainment of specified performance metrics during the performance period, which is the fiscal year 2025.

PSU award activity under the 2017 Plan was as follows:


	Unvested PSUs
	Class A Common Stock	Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested at August 3, 2024	—	$	—

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense for options, RSUs, and PSUs granted to employees was $12.7 million for the three months ended November 2, 2024, and $19.9 million for the three months ended October 28, 2023. Stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs is recorded, net of forfeitures, over the requisite service period using the straight-line method such that an expense is only recognized for those awards that we expect to vest. Stock-based compensation expense related to PSUs is recorded under the accelerated method and is adjusted in future periods for subsequent changes in the expected outcome of the performance related conditions. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options is recorded by estimating the fair value of stock-based awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and amortizing the fair value of the stock-based awards granted over the applicable vesting period of the awards on a straight-line basis. No options were granted during the three months ended November 2, 2024, and October 28, 2023.

As of November 2, 2024, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested options, RSUs, and PSUs, net of estimated forfeitures, was $68.6 million, which we expect to recognize over an estimated weighted average period of 1.5 years.
