9. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

For the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2025, we recognized total stock-based compensation expense (including restricted stock units and performance shares) of $9.2 million and $29.8 million, respectively. For the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2024, we recognized total stock-based compensation expense of $6.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively. In the first half of fiscal 2025, we granted 2.2 million restricted stock units at a weighted average grant date price of $29.85 per share unit and 0.7 million performance shares at a weighted average grant date price of $29.86 per share.

Performance shares are granted to selected executives and other key employees with vesting contingent upon meeting various Company-wide performance goals. The performance goals for the three-year performance periods ending in fiscal 2025 (the “2025 performance period”) and 2026 (the “2026 performance period”) are based on our net sales and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) growth, subject to certain adjustments, measured over the defined performance period, with each year of the performance period weighted one-third. The performance goals for the three-year performance period ending in fiscal 2027 (the “2027 performance period”) is based on our net sales and diluted EPS on a three-year cumulative basis, subject to certain adjustments, measured over the defined performance period. For each of the 2025 performance period, 2026 performance period, and 2027 performance period, the awards

actually earned will range from zero to two hundred percent of the targeted number of performance shares for such performance period. Dividend equivalents are paid on the portion of performance shares actually earned at our regular dividend rate in additional shares of common stock.

Awards, if earned, will be paid in shares of our common stock. Subject to limited exceptions set forth in our performance share plan, any shares earned will be distributed after the end of the performance period, and generally only if the participant continues to be employed with the Company through the date of distribution. For awards where performance against the performance target has not been certified, the value of the performance shares is adjusted based upon the market price of our common stock and current forecasted performance against the performance targets at the end of each reporting period and amortized as compensation expense over the vesting period. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.
