Long-Term Incentive Plans

5. Long-Term Incentive Plans

The following is a summary of the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”).  All equity awards granted under long-term incentive plans are issued from the Company’s stockholder-approved 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan.   See Note 6, Stock-Based Compensation.

At August 3, 2019, the Company has two active LTIPs, its 2017-2018 LTIP and 2018-2020 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.  All time-based awards for both the 2017-2018 LTIP and the 2018-2020 LTIP were granted on the effective date on each LTIP and all awards were in restricted stock units (RSUs).

2017-2018 LTIP

The performance targets for the Company’s 2017-2018 LTIP were approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the” Compensation Committee”) on March 31, 2017 and covered a two-year period performance period, which ended on February 2, 2019. Awards for any achievement of performance targets are not granted until the performance targets are achieved and then are subject to additional vesting through August 31 following the end of the applicable performance period. The time-vested portion of the 2017-2018 LTIP vests in two installments with 50% of the time-vested portion vesting on April 1, 2019 and 50% vesting on April 1, 2020.

 

On March 19, 2019, the Compensation Committee approved a 25% payout of its performance targets for the 2017-2018 LTIP, resulting in awards totaling $0.5 million.  On that date, the Company granted 150,299 RSUs, which will vest, net of any forfeitures, on August 31, 2019.  In conjunction with the grant of the RSUs, the Company reclassified $0.3 million of the liability accrual from “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” to “Additional paid-in capital” in the first six months of fiscal 2019. See the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity.  In addition to the performance awards, the Company expects to incur stock-based compensation of approximately $2.0 million for its time-based awards, which is being expensed over thirty-six months, through April 1, 2020.  

 

2018-2020 LTIP

 

In June 2018, the Company amended its LTIP to, among other things, extend the performance period for awards to three years, beginning with grants in fiscal 2018. On October 24, 2018, the Compensation Committee established performance targets for the 2018-2020 LTIP. 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, 2021.  The time-vested portion of the award vests in four equal installments, vesting on October 24, 2019, April 1, 2020, April 1, 2021 and April 1, 2022.

 

Assuming that the Company achieves the performance target at target levels and all time-based awards vest, the compensation expense associated with the 2018-2020 LTIP is estimated to be approximately $4.1 million.  Approximately half of the compensation expense relates to the time-vested RSUs, which is being expensed straight-line over forty-one months. Through the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company has accrued $0.1 million for performance awards under the 2018-2020 LTIP.
