6 Months Ended

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units. Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a performance-based equity compensation arrangement for our executive officers during the first quarters of each of fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021. These performance-based arrangements provide for the grant of performance-based restricted stock units that represent a possible future issuance of restricted shares of our common stock based on a pre-tax income target for the applicable fiscal year. The actual number of restricted shares to be issued to each executive officer is determined when our final financial information becomes available after the applicable fiscal year and will be between zero shares and 88,524 shares in the aggregate for fiscal 2022. The restricted shares issued, if any, will fully vest approximately two years after the last day of the fiscal year on which the performance is based. We are recording the compensation expense for the outstanding performance share units and the converted restricted stock over the life of the awards.

The following table represents the restricted stock activity for the six months ended September 26, 2021:


	Shares	Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested at beginning of period	239,120	$	17.94
Granted	111,618	31.74
Vested	(123,002)	17.25

Unvested at end of period	227,736	$	25.08

We recorded compensation expense related to performance share units and restricted stock of $0.6 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended September 26, 2021, respectively. We recorded compensation expense related to performance share units and restricted stock of $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended September 27, 2020, respectively. Substantially all of the compensation expense was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Restricted Stock Awards. As part of their retainer, our non-employee directors receive restricted stock for their Board services. The restricted stock awards are generally expensed over a one-year vesting period, based on the market value on the date of grant. As of September 26, 2021, there were 9,282 shares of restricted stock with an average grant date fair value of $32.31 outstanding under this program. Compensation expense for both the three months ended September 26, 2021 and September 27, 2020 related to restricted stock awards to the Board was $0.1 million. Compensation expense for both the six months ended September 26, 2021 and September 27, 2020 related to restricted stock awards to the Board was $0.2 million.
