H. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLANS

The following is a summary of the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”). All equity awards granted under these long-term incentive plans were issued from the Company’s stockholder-approved 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan. See Note I, “Stock Compensation Plans.”

At February 3, 2024, the Company has three active LTIPs: 2021-2023 LTIP, 2022-2024 LTIP and 2023-2025 LTIP. Each participant in the plan participates based on that participant’s “Target Cash Value” which is defined as the participant’s annual base salary (on the participant’s effective date) multiplied by his or her LTIP percentage. Under each LTIP, 50% of each participant’s Target Cash Value is subject to time-based vesting and 50% is subject to performance-based vesting. The time-based awards under the 2021-2023 LTIP were granted in a combination of 25% stock options and 75% cash, and the time-based awards under the 2022-2024 LTIP and the 2023-2025 LTIP were granted in a combination of 50% RSUs and 50% cash.

Performance targets for the 2021-2023 LTIP, 2022-2024 LTIP and the 2023-2025 LITP were established and approved by the Compensation Committee on March 8, 2021, April 9, 2022 and May 1, 2023, respectively. The performance period for each LTIP is three years. Awards for any achievement of performance targets will not be granted until the performance targets are achieved and then will be subject to additional vesting through August 31, 2024, August 31, 2025 and August, 31, 2026, respectively. The time-based awards under the 2021-2023 LTIP, 2022-2024 LTIP and 2023-2025 LTIP vest in four equal installments through April 1, 2025, April 1, 2026, and April 1, 2027, respectively.

Assuming that the Company achieves the performance targets at target levels and all time-based awards vest, the compensation expense associated with the 2021-2023 LTIP, 2022-2024 LTIP and 2023-2025 LTIP is estimated to be approximately $4.1 million, $4.8 million and $5.1 million, respectively. Approximately half of the compensation expense for each LTIP relates to the time-based awards, which are being expensed straight-line over 49 months, 48 months and 47 months, respectively.

The performance targets under the 2021-2023 LTIP were achieved at the end of fiscal 2023. Awards granted pursuant to this achievement will be subject to further vesting through August 31, 2024. Accordingly, at February 3, 2024, $2.5 million of the expected $3.0 million for the performance award has been accrued.

At February 3, 2024, the Company accrued $1.6 million for the performance awards under the 2022-2024 LTIP and no accrual for the performance-based awards under the 2023-2025 LTIP.
